  • JD reported first-quarter results last week. Revenue grew about 21%, including 44% net service revenue growth, and margins expanded as both JD Retail and JD Logistics benefited from operating leverage.

  • JD's strategic partnership with Tencent has been renewed for another three years, which takes one risk off the table for a while.

  • JD agreed to sell 14.5% of its JD Health subsidiary for over $1 billion, indicating a $7 billion valuation for this subsidiary I hadn't previously considered.
