Tepper trims Alibaba stake; shifts China bets toward Baidu and select names

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

A high-profile reduction in a large-cap holding (BABA) can create near-term downward pressure as investors reassess exposure; the simultaneous pivot to Baidu and away from JD/PDD suggests a broader re-weighting rather than a fundamental change, which could produce mixed but initially negative price action for BABA.
