JD.com Price Target Trimmed, Bullish Outlook Maintained

JD.com’s stock (NASDAQ:JD) has received a mixed update from Benchmark, which lowered its price target to $42 from $47, whilst maintaining a Buy rating. The adjustment follows JD.com’s Q2 performance, which featured a notable revenue beat, but reflects a more cautious view of growth and margin potential through fiscal year 2026.

With the stock trading at $31.50, the revised target reflects a perceived upside of ~33% from here.

The firm has recalibrated its FY26 earnings forecasts to account for ongoing investments and potential profitability headwinds, particularly related to the company’s continued emphasis on food delivery.
