    The company’s initial public offering, on track to be the biggest ever if underwriters exercise their option to sell more shares, will help fund Alibaba’s expansion in the United States and elsewhere.

    The sale raised more than $8.2 billion for the company after fees for underwriters, and about $13 billion for major shareholders.
