0133 GMT - JD.com's likely stronger retail business margin is likely to support full-year earnings, says UOB Kay Hian's Julia Pan in a note. The Chinese online retailer's revenue growth in 1Q was solid, while margins widened on quarter thanks to lower food-delivery investment, the analyst says. While diversifying revenue drivers could boost the company's top line, she remains cautiously optimistic on JD.com given the high base effect from trade-in subsidies. She raises her 2026 earnings estimates by 10% while leaving revenue projections unchanged. UOB Kay Hian maintains its buy rating and HK$155 target price. Shares fall 0.2% to HK$129.70.
