On Friday, Shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA), gain 2.68% to $79.96.

E-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is looking to sell its stake in China’s leading online provider of movie ticketing, restaurant bookings and other on-demand services as it builds a competing platform of its own, according to people familiar with the situation, according to WSJ

Alibaba is shopping its roughly 7% stake in the company created by last month’s merger of two rival startups: Meituan.com and Dianping Holdings Ltd., whose respective group-buying and restaurant-booking services are similar to those of Groupon Inc. and Yelp Inc. of the U.S.

The Alibaba deal could be worth roughly $1 billion, based on the valuations being discussed in Meituan-Dianping’s current fundraising round, the people said.
