What the company doesThe full company profile.
JD.com, Inc. is one of China’s largest e-commerce and supply chain technology companies, operating across online retail, marketplace services, logistics, healthcare, industrial services, property infrastructure, and international commerce. The company is best known for its direct retail model, where it sells products to consumers through its own platform, alongside third-party marketplace services that allow merchants to reach customers across China.
JD.com’s strength comes from its integrated supply chain, large logistics network, trusted product quality, and strong position in categories such as electronics, appliances, groceries, household goods, and general merchandise. Unlike more marketplace-heavy e-commerce platforms, JD has built a logistics-led model focused on reliable fulfilment, delivery speed, and inventory control. This gives the company exposure to Chinese consumer spending, digital retail, on-demand services, merchant solutions, logistics infrastructure, and the long-term growth of modern commerce in China.

MethodologyHow ET&A values a company and reaches a view.
How we value JD.com Inc
- 1. The right method for the business. Each business is valued on the method that suits its economics — earnings for most companies, book value and returns for banks and insurers, cash flows or dividends where earnings mislead.
- 2. What the business deserves. ET&A builds a fair multiple from the company's own quality, sustainable growth, earnings predictability and risk. History, peers and the market are checked against it, but they don't set it.
- 3. Fair Value. The earnings (or other basis) per share multiplied by that fair multiple, cross-checked against independent methods.
- 4. Preferred Entry. A price below Fair Value that leaves room for the return ET&A requires for the company's risk.
- 5. Is it expensive? Today’s price is placed on ET&A’s Valuation Attractiveness scale — the same measure the ET&A Score uses. Cheap is the Preferred Entry; above Fair Value the shares are Expensive, and Very Expensive once they are more than 25% above it.
Powered by the ET&A Valuation FrameworkHow Fair Value & Preferred Entry work →
Read the full ET&A methodology →How we reach a view
The ET&A View combines our assessment of the business with where today’s price sits against our Preferred Entry and Fair Value. It is a considered judgement, not a mechanical score.

- Growth outlook
- Debt and financial strength
- Valuation
- Risk
- What could drive it higher
- Buy
- ET&A sees significant upside from the current price with an attractive risk/reward profile.
- Accumulate
- ET&A likes the company but would prefer investors to build exposure gradually.
- Hold
- ET&A sees limited reason to buy aggressively or sell at the current price.
- Reduce
- ET&A believes the current valuation or risk profile makes a smaller position more appropriate.
- Sell
- ET&A believes the downside risk materially outweighs the potential return at the current price.
