Read MoreHide Full Article
JD.com, Inc. (JD - Free Report) closed at $73.30 in the latest trading session, marking a +0.94% move from the prior day. This move outpaced the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.51%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the company had gained 1.34% over the past month. This has lagged the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 2.15% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.75% in that time.
JD will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect JD to post earnings of $0.42 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 16%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $38.29 billion, up 34.55% from the prior-year quarter.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $1.53 per share and revenue of $147.2 billion, which would represent changes of -5.56% and +34.87%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for JD. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. JD is holding a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell) right now.
Looking at its valuation, JD is holding a Forward P/E ratio of 47.57. For comparison, its industry has an average Forward P/E of 57.58, which means JD is trading at a discount to the group.
Also, we should mention that JD has a PEG ratio of 1.77. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. The Internet - Commerce was holding an average PEG ratio of 2.15 at yesterday's closing price.
The Internet - Commerce industry is part of the Retail-Wholesale sector. This industry currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 222, which puts it in the bottom 13% of all 250+ industries.
