Nomura Sees JD.com Beating Q2 Revenue Estimates, UK HQ Purchase Complete
JD sits 25% above its 52-week low of $24.508.
Summary
Nomura forecasts JD.com's Q2 revenue decline at -5.5%, notably better than the -7.5% consensus, driven by stronger supermarket sales and reduced food-delivery losses. The firm maintains a Buy rating and $41 target. Separately, JD.com has completed the acquisition of a sustainable West London office building for its UK headquarters. This follows a series of strategic moves, including a potential £2B bid for The Very Group and an EU antitrust probe into its Ceconomy takeover. The revenue beat signal is a positive data point ahead of official Q2 results, while the HQ purchase underscores international expansion ambitions.
