Recent analyses on JD:
"JD.com presents an intriguing investment opportunity amid the current market landscape. The company has experienced strong growth while the stock has languished. JD.com's strong financial position, impressive revenue and earnings growth, and strategic focus on technological innovation position it favorably in the e-commerce industry. While there are risks to consider, such as regulatory uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, JD.com stands to benefit from tailwinds like China's economic recovery, increasing consumer confidence, and government support for domestic consumption and digitalization efforts. I believe JD presents a compelling opportunity since it has low risk and the potential. Although buying JD under $35 is a no brainer, we cannot guarantee that you will see the price dip back to that level," writes SA contributor Pink Sands Value Investor in a July 26 report.
"Reflecting on analysts' estimates for JD's Q2 results, it appears that markets have taken a highly negative stance on the expected financial performance of both top and bottom-line estimates. Investors should consider, however, that this pessimism appears to be influenced (mostly) by macroeconomic data, such as slower-than-predicted GDP growth in China, and less by JD's idiosyncratic fundamentals, which are actually quite encouraging. Given the negative sentiment backdrop, I believe that the upcoming earnings season could serve as a positive catalyst for JD.com, as I expect JD's Q2 report to outperform analyst estimates -- with a predicted 2-3% YoY growth for topline and a 22-25% growth for EPS," writes SA contributor Cavenagh Research in a July 25 report. 
"JD stock price plunged in the first half of 2023 due to the sluggish recovery of the Chinese economy from COVID-19 restrictions and fierce domestic competition. Despite the downturn, the stock price is showing signs of stabilizing, with the potential for a bullish reversal. Investors are advised to buy JD at its current levels for long-term investment purposes," SA contributor Muhammad Umair writes in a July 24 report.
