What’s new: Alibaba’s reported FY3Q26 results that were below consensus and our expectations.

What’s new: JD’s reported 4Q25 revs that were above consensus and largely in line with our expectations. JD Retail could continue to be supported by resiliency in general merchandise. Investments in food delivery could continue to sequentially decline in 1Q and FY26. We lower our PT from US$42 to US$35 as core retail could remain challenging in the near term. Our updated PT of US$35 implies 13.4x FY26E P/E. We maintain our BUY rating. Analysts: Jin Yoon

JD has guided for sluggish low single-digit top-line growth in 4Q25, moderating significantly from 3Q25’s revenue growth of 15% yoy, due to the high-base effect last year as a result of national subsidies.

We are optimistic about 1Q26 due to the resumption of national subsidies and strong seasonality during the Spring Festival. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of HK$155.00 (US$...
