The Chinese e-commerce leader has been a consistent overachiever, beating EPS estimates for eight straight quarters and topping revenue forecasts nearly 90% of the time. This quarter, though, the tone is different. Over the past three months, analysts have issued 12 downward revisions to EPS forecasts with zero upward changes, signaling concerns over margins.
On the flip side, revenue expectations actually improved, with 16 upward revisions, a sign that sales momentum remains strong despite profit pressures.
Investors will be closely watching management's take on China's consumer spending, economic backdrop, and JD's performance across retail, logistics, and new business segments. JD.com shares are down nearly 7% year-to-date, lagging rivals.
