Better Buy: Alibaba vs. Facebook
You'd be hard-pressed to find two companies with larger user bases than Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). Alibaba now has 824 million monthly active users (MAU) across its retail platforms, while Facebook has over 2.9 billion MAUs across its family of apps. Both have a market capitalization close to $600 billion, and trade at a forward P/E ratio of 25 and 20, respectively. Despite some parallels, I believe one of these stocks is the clear better buy today.
