Investing.com -- Here is your daily Pro Recap of the biggest insider trades you may have missed this week.

Alibaba shares plunge on Softbank stake sale report

Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) shares dropped nearly 6% on Wednesday after Financial Times reported that SoftBank (TYO:9984) (OTC:SFTBY) intends to sell nearly its entire stake in China's e-commerce giant, as it struggles with a severe rout in its technology investments.

The reported impending sale, which comes after Softbank offloaded about $7.2 billion worth of Alibaba shares this year and a record $29B in 2022, will cut its share in Alibaba to just 3.8%.

The news comes as Alibaba's shares surged in March due to the announcement of its plan to split into six entities, while improving economic conditions in China and reduced regulatory scrutiny also drove investor interest in the stock.

The company will report its Q1/23 earnings results on May 18.
