The U.S. Federal Reserve struck a hawkish tone at its latest meeting and Treasurys have risen to multi-year highs . According to Morgan Stanley, those conditions could put certain stocks in Asian and emerging markets at a disadvantage. "We believe large cap growth stocks, particularly the low quality and unprofitable ones, could come under pressure," they said. More specifically, those set to be "disadvantaged" are high-growth names "with low balance sheet quality" and low free cash flow yield. Morgan Stanley had an underweight rating for Alibaba Health Information Technology , a Chinese integrated pharmaceutical services provider.

The CEO role will be handed over to Eddie Yongming Wu, chairman of Alibaba's Taobao and Tmall Group, while Executive Vice Chairman Joseph Tsai will take over Zhang as chairman. "The idea or expectation that one person could manage the business' crown jewel Cloud and at the same time manage the entire Alibaba Group is an unreasonable expectation." "It would be inappropriate for me to continue serving as chairman and CEO of both companies at the same time during the spin-off process." Alibaba thanked Zhang for his "extraordinary leadership in navigating unprecedented uncertainties affecting the company's business over the past few years." Wu, who co-founded Alibaba alongside Ma and Tsai over two decades ago, will continue to concurrently serve as chairman of Taobao and Tmall Group, Alibaba said.
