Jim Cramer Sees Both Regulation And Fundamental Concerns For Alibaba

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd BABA is one of the most widely held Chinese stocks in the U.S. The stock has trended lower recently on regulation concerns in China. 

Alibaba was fined Wednesday by antitrust regulators on accusations that the company violated China's anti-monopoly law by failing to seek approval when acquiring other companies, which may have improperly increased the company's market control. 

Alibaba stock has traded lower amid regulation concerns, but now it's headed lower on fundamentals, Jim Cramer said Thursday on CNBC.

"That's not good," Cramer emphasized.
