JD.com (JD) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
JD.com, Inc.’s (JD - Free Report) fourth-quarter 2020 results are expected to reflect strength across the JD Retail, JD Health and New Business segments. In the last reported quarter, it delivered an earnings surprise of 16.3%.
The stock outperformed earnings estimates in each of the trailing three quarters, with the average being 19.6%.
Fourth-Quarter Estimates
For the fourth quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $33.1 billion, indicating an improvement of 34.8% from the year-ago reported figure.
Moreover, the consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 22 cents per share, suggesting a 175% rise from the prior-year reported number.
The company’s JD Retail segment comprising the e-commerce business is expected to have remained a key catalyst in the fourth quarter, courtesy of strengthening momentum across lower-tier cities.
Moreover, the online retail market boom is expected to have aided the JD Retail segment’s performance in the quarter to be reported.
Also, growing traction across the supermarket category — especially FMCG and fresh produce — is likely to contribute to its fourth-quarter results.
Additionally, JD.com’s strong efforts in offering services at the best price on the back of its scale and lower procurement costs from suppliers are expected to have benefited its fourth-quarter performance.
Further, strengthening of the company’s omnichannel offerings is expected to get reflected in JD Retail’s revenue performance.
Moreover, the company’s intensified focus on ensuring timely supply of products and fulfillment of customer demand might significantly aid the quarterly results.
Additionally, the strong New Businesses segment — which comprises logistics services, technology services and overseas businesses — might have driven fourth-quarter revenues.
However, mounting investment costs are likely to have weighed on its fourth-quarter performance. Moreover, severe competitive pressure in the e-commerce market from Alibaba (BABA - Free Report) might have been a headwind.
