Latest developments on JD.com

JD.com stock experienced a significant drop today following news of Walmart’s $3.6 billion sale of its stake in the company, ending a relationship that began in 2016. Analysts, however, remain bullish on the retail giant after its strong Q2 results. Walmart’s decision to sell its stake in JD.com is part of its strategy to focus on its own China operations, leading to a slump in JD.com shares. This move by Walmart has had a ripple effect on the China tech sector, with JD.com leading losses in the market. Despite the drop in stock price, JD.com recently completed a $3 billion share buyback program, underscoring its financial strength and commitment to shareholders.
