0515 GMT - JD Logistics coming 4Q results is likely to be a mixed bag, according to Nomura analysts Rachel Guo and Jialong Shi in a research note. Revenue is expected to rise 20% on the year, they say. Solid growth from JD.com's retail unit likely helped the business of its logistics arm in 4Q, they say. However, net profit is likely to underperform due to weaker profitability of its freight delivery businesses amid by fierce market competition, increased frontloaded investment and a nearly 200 million yuan loss caused by one-off issues, the analysts note. The company expects to claim 80%-90% of this loss through insurance. Nomura maintains a buy rating, with a target price of HK$17.00. Share last traded at HK$11.72. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
