HONG KONG -- Plans to make Hong Kong the main market for Alibaba Group Holding stock will not be completed by the end of the year as expected, the Chinese e-commerce leader said Thursday, indicating it needs more time to watch conditions.

"We are closely monitoring and taking into account various factors, including changing market and other external conditions," said Toby Xu, Alibaba's chief financial officer, in an earnings call with analysts.
