Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA) has revealed its New Manufacturing model for the first time with the unveiling of Xunxi Digital Factory.
The Hangzhou-based factory offers SMEs a digitalized end-to-end manufacturing supply chain that allows for customized, demand-driven production.
“This allows traditional manufacturers to improve profitability and reduce inventory levels while still being able to meet these personalization needs,” said Alain Wu, CEO of Xunxi Digital Technology, Alibaba Group.
The introduction of New Manufacturing is another milestone in the implementation of Alibaba’s “Five New” strategy introduced in 2016, and comprises New Retail, New Manufacturing, New Finance, New Technology and New Energy.
Powered by new technologies, the factory is able to produce small-batch orders at reasonable costs, increasing manufacturing efficiency from 25% to an average of 55%.
JFrog (FROG) has priced its IPO of 11.6M shares at $44, above recently increased price range of $39-41 a share (originally $33-37 a share).

Financial for 6 months ended June 2020: Total subscription revenue: $69.3M (+50.3%); Net loss: ($0.4M) (+81.0%); loss/share: ($0.02) (+75.0%); CF Ops: $5.9M (+1375.0%).
The FTC for more than a year has been looking into whether Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) is abusing its market position to stifle competition, and while no final decision to sue has been made, sources say the agency is preparing to do so, reports the Journal.
The article does note the FTC appeared on track to sue Google in 2013, but ultimately decided not to pull the trigger.
The FTC has two paths forward, should it decide to move against Facebook. One would be a lawsuit in federal court, and the other would be an in-house complaint, in which the case would before an administrative judge.
Facebook is down 2.5% after-hours.
That $120 is well above the most recently hoped-for range of $100-$110 (which itself was lifted from $75-$85), and the $33B valuation is miles above the $12.4B valuation Snowflake received in a funding round earlier this year.
Shares will begin trading tomorrow on the NYSE under the symbol SNOW.

Fitness+ (post update): Apple launches Fitness+, which adds new workouts every week with interactive features between the workout and the Watch metrics. The videos work on iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV.
