Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) co-founder Jack Ma appeared on Sunday at the 20th anniversary of his co-founded Alibaba fintech affiliate&nbsp;Ant Group.
This is Ma&#8217;s first public appearance at the fintech giant event since he shunned public appearances after the Chinese regulators scrapped Ant Group&#8217;s $39.7 billion initial public offering in November 2020.
Ma lauded Ant Group for its accomplishments, expressed optimism over the next two decades for the fintech giant, and said he expected &#8220;more miracles&#8221; as he drew parallels with the revolution the internet brought two decades back, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3289918/jack-ma-makes-rare-speech-ant-groups-20th-anniversary-predicts-ai-driven-future" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> Chinese media reports.

Prior reports indicated Ant Group <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/06/39312369/alibabas-fintech-affiliate-ant-group-boosts-global-ai-efforts-with-multi-billion-dollar-investment" rel="noreferrer noopener">doling out $2.9 billion</a> on research in 2023 to drive its artificial intelligence goals. In 2024, Alibaba <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40650893/alibaba-clears-3-year-regulatory-antitrust-scrutiny-stock-gains" rel="noreferrer noopener">received a clean chit</a> from the Chinese antitrust regulator after over three years of investigative scrutiny. The regulator fined Alibaba $2.8 billion in 2021, equivalent to 4% of the e-commerce juggernaut&#8217;s 2019 revenue.
Ant Group Chair Eric Jing Xiandong, Alibaba and Alipay co-founder Peng Lei also graced the Ant Group event.
In 2023, Ma disassociated himself from Ant Group by surrendering his corporate roles.
Recently, Xiandong shared plans to relinquish the CEO position to finance chief Cyril Han Xinyi in March 2025. Ant Group had restructured its shareholding in 2023, giving Ma 53.5% of the voting power.
Meanwhile, Ant Group unit Ant International reported robust growth across its core business segments following a spin-off in March as its mobile payment platform, Alipay+, gained traction globally, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-trends/article/3289878/ant-international-reports-growth-after-march-spin-cross-border-payments-surge?module=latest&amp;pgtype=homepage" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Ant International told the SCMP that its four business pillars – Alipay+, Antom, WorldFirst, and Embedded Finance – have delivered strong performance.
At the end of November, Alipay+ linked over 90 million merchants in 66 markets to 1.6 billion user accounts, up from 88 million merchants in 57 markets and 1.5 billion users in December last year.
Cross-border transactions through Alipay+ partners surged threefold in 2024. WorldFirst, a global business-to-business payment service, hit an annual total payment volume (TPV) of $100 billion.
Antom nearly doubled its TPV year-over-year from January to November 2024, with robust card processing volume growth.
The Embedded Finance segment has emerged as a new growth driver, offering financial solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies.
Alibaba Group Holding stock gained 15% year-to-date courtesy of China launching fiscal stimulus to drive the economy.
Price Action: BABA stock closed higher by 9.04% at $93.70 at the last check on Monday.

The "Oracle of Omaha," who has built an astonishing $150 billion fortune, wants parents to take an unorthodox but deeply practical step – let your kids read your will before you sign it.
In a press release, Buffett urged parents to ensure their children understand the reasoning behind inheritance decisions and the responsibilities that will fall to them. "Be sure each child understands both the logic for your decisions and the responsibilities they will encounter upon your death," he wrote.&nbsp;

</ul>
He also recommended taking time to listen to any feedback. "If any have questions or suggestions, listen carefully and adopt those found sensible. You don't want your children asking ‘Why?' in respect to testamentary decisions when you are no longer able to respond."
Buffett's advice couldn't come at a better time. A staggering 68% of Americans still don't have a will, according to a Caring.com survey. Among those who do, many fail to discuss their plans with their heirs.&nbsp;
That's a recipe for disaster. Estate disputes can get ugly, with sibling feuds accounting for 44% of inheritance battles, often over misunderstandings about how assets are divided.
Financial planner Douglas Boneparth, founder of Bone Fide Wealth, agrees that these tough conversations are critical. "Kids' imagination can run wild with what they think they should be getting," Boneparth said.&nbsp;

By being transparent, parents can avoid leaving their children with unrealistic expectations – or worse, unpleasant surprises. "These are meaningful discussions and, when done right, can strengthen family relationships."
Buffett has seen what happens when clarity is missing. He recalled witnessing families unravel after vague or seemingly unjust wills left beneficiaries confused and resentful. Childhood slights, real or imagined, often resurface, turning simple inheritances into battlegrounds.
What if the inheritance isn't evenly split? Financial experts say it's essential to explain why. Perhaps one sibling received financial help with a down payment on a house or attended an expensive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42220525/fired-after-dropping-out-of-college-he-used-300-from-his-last-paycheck-now-his-business-makes-4-million-a-year">college</a>.&nbsp;
Maybe another sibling struggles with financial discipline and needs their inheritance distributed through a trust. Whatever the reason, parents should address it openly to avoid accusations of favoritism.
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
Carolyn McClanahan, founder of Life Planning Partners, suggests an even more collaborative approach. If one child is financially stable, parents might discuss leaving more to a sibling in need."
"You could say, ‘Do you care if I leave more to your brother? He's an artist and could use the help,'" McClanahan explained. These conversations can prevent resentment while building understanding.
But there's a caveat. In rare cases, McClanahan warns, full disclosure can backfire – like when a child has a history of financial exploitation or irresponsibility. In such instances, parents might hold off on sharing details and instead write a letter explaining their decisions to be read after their passing.
Buffett summed it up best: "There is nothing wrong with my having to defend my thoughts. My dad did the same with me." His message is clear – start talking.

Warren Buffett Warns Parents About A Common Mistake: 'You Don't Want Them Asking Why' – Here's What He Means

In the current market session, Gartner Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IT#NYSE">IT</a>) share price is at $517.50, after a 0.03% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 6.58%, but in the past year, went up by 11.68%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733762708_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Gartner P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Gartner has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 97.07 of the IT Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1733762708_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
