Chinese e-commerce company JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) saw its shares slump more than 15%, Thursday, following an earnings report that failed to excite investors despite revenue that grew strongly from a year ago.
JD (JD) said that for its fourth quarter it earned 35 cents a share on revenue of $43.3 billion. The company's earnings surpasses analysts' estimates for a profit of 27 cents a share, while sales were in line with consensus forecasts for $43.3 billion.

However, JD (JD) reported a net loss equal to 53 cents share, which gave Wall Street some pause in Thursday's trading session.
Prior to JD's (JD) earnings report, there had been concerns about how the company's retail expansion plans and regulatory issues in China might weigh on its results.
