Will Alibaba's Investor Day Give the Stock a Thrust? Alibaba is scheduled to hold its virtual investor day event on Dec. 16-17, wherein its CEO Daniel Zhang, CFO Maggie Wu, CFO-designate and Deputy CFO Toby Xu, and other senior executives are expected to speak. Incidentally, the company announced earlier this month the elevation of Xu to the CFO role, effective April 1. "The announcement of Alibaba's CFO transition today is the culmination of extensive preparation over many years and a part of Alibaba's leadership succession planning," said the outgoing CFO Wu. "We are in a relay race, and we must have new generations of talent to take the company forward."
