In terms of news, JD has launched a "Gift" feature in its latest version of the APP, which also achieves seamless integration with WeChat. JD has also introduced a fun "Group Gifting" feature, allowing users to purchase multiple gifts at once and send them to a WeChat group, where group members can randomly grab different gifts based on luck. Additionally, on January 20, new subsidies for mobile phones and other digital products were implemented on JD. Guosen Securities' recent research report pointed out that the national subsidy policy for trade-in will continue to expand and strengthen by 2025, and JD is expected to benefit significantly from this policy support.
CITIC Construction Investment Securities stated that it expects JD's revenue in Q4 2024 to grow by 9.5% year-on-year to CNY 335.1 billion, with a Non-GAAP net profit of CNY 10.1 billion, corresponding to a net profit margin of 3.02%, compared to 2.75% in the same period last year. Benefiting from the national subsidy policy, the growth rate of battery-powered categories has significantly increased quarter-on-quarter and exceeded the growth rate of daily necessities, with home appliances and computers growing faster than mobile phones. On the profit side, although sales expenses are rising during the industry's peak season, the gross profit margin of 1P categories such as home appliances and PCs has improved significantly due to the trade-in policy. Looking ahead to 2025, it is expected that the national subsidy policy will continue, offline channels will be further opened up, and with revenue growth exceeding that of social retail, profit margin improvements will continue to be achieved through enhanced supply chain efficiency
