Movement Alert|JD.com Falls 3.08% in Regular Trading, EU Subsidy Probe on Ceconomy Acquisition Adds to Sector-Wide Pressure

Market Focus06-03

On June 3, JD.com (09618.HK) fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at HKD 116.3 per share, with trading volume of HKD 171 million.

On the news front, the European Commission announced an in-depth investigation into JD.com's proposed EUR 2.2 billion acquisition of Ceconomy, Europe's largest consumer electronics retailer. The probe will examine whether JD.com benefited from preferential financing, tax breaks, or other China-related subsidies that may have allowed it to offer more favorable terms in the acquisition. The regulatory scrutiny introduces uncertainty into JD.com's overseas expansion strategy.

Additionally, the Internet and Direct Marketing Retail sector faced broad-based selling pressure. Among sector peers, Alibaba-W fell 2.37%, Meituan-W fell 2.98%, JD Health fell 2.76%, Ali Health fell 2.36%, and PA Good Doctor fell 2.34%. The Hong Kong broader market also opened lower, with the Hang Seng Tech Index declining 0.70%, as major technology names including Lenovo, NIO, Li Auto, XPeng, Baidu, and Kuaishou all posted losses.
