They highlight management's remarks on initial preparation work with appliance brands and local government in planning trade-in appliance initiative. JD.com will also kick-off its shopping festival on June 18, where it is expected to implement a low-price strategy and offer differentiated products, the analysts note. They keep a buy rating, with a target price of US$43.00 on the ADR. The ADRs last closed at US$34.27, while the Hong Kong-listed shares are 0.1% higher at HK$132.50. (Tracy.qu@wsj.com)
