JD.Com (NASDAQ:JD)

JD.Com’s revenue grew 1.4% in the first quarter, fueled by robust growth in its services business. The company’s high-margin services business and its efforts to streamline operations and optimize its product portfolio helped generate adjusted net income per ADS (American Depositary Share) of RMB 4.76, up from RMB 2.53 in the prior-year quarter.While the Q1 revenue exceeded market expectations, it marked the slowest pace of growth for JD.Com amid difficult macro conditions and rising competition. To revive its sales, the company launched a massive RMB 10 billion discount campaign that aims to attract more customers through wider price ranges and product categories.

JD is optimistic about the road ahead, with a focus on growth in lower-tier markets, advancements in technology and services, international expansion, and higher efficiency in operations. The company recently announced that it aims to create seven listed firms with a market value of at least $14 billion apiece.
