Analysts and Investor Sentiment -- I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock it's hard to make money swimming against the tide:

  • Wall street analysts issued 26 strong buy, 8 buy and 7 hold opinions on the stock
  • Analysts' price targets ate between $28 and $71.50
  • CFRAs MarketScope rates the stock a 4 star strong buy and comments:" We see decent revenue/earnings growth prospects for JD, driven by increasing consumers’ preference for shopping online and value-for-money items, and the strength of its supply chain and logistics capabilities. While we expect JD’s capex and operating expenses (i.e., promotions) to stay high, these will help to strengthen its competitive advantage (e.g., by providing faster delivery or after-delivery services to users) amid strong competition in the e-commerce/on demand delivery space in China."
  • MorningStar give the stock its above average rating of 4 with a Fair Value of $50 or 14% under valued and comments:" In the medium term, we expect to see stable margin, after cutting much of its unprofitable businesses such as community group purchase, Jingxi, and international businesses in 2022. JD.com will continue to put more emphasis on high-quality profitability instead of low-quality growth. JD's logistics business JDL became an independent business unit that opens its services to third parties. JDL management will be squarely focused on profitability as well, and has achieved positive non-IFRS net profit in 2022."
