Alibaba IPO Investor Roadshow Curtain May Rise September 8

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. may launch a series of investor presentations known as a roadshow as soon as Sept. 8, while the Chinese online-commerce company prepares for what might be the biggest initial public offering in U.S. equity-market history. The firm appears close to completely answering all questions put to it about the IPO by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which is a necessary precondition of its stock-market listing, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
