The order, issued by the justice ministry, is the second time that China has invoked ⁠its regulations countering "unlawful extraterritorial jurisdiction measures". Introduced in April, the regulations expanded Beijing's economic pressure toolkit amid strained ties with trading partners including the EU. Sign up here.

The EU probe demanded from a Chinese entity "extensive and unnecessary" information from within China, China's justice ministry said in a separate statement, ⁠calling the demand "a serious violation of the international rule of law". "If the EU persists in its unilateral actions, China ⁠will resolutely retaliate in accordance with the law," the ministry said.

Firma zatím finanční dopad nevyčíslila. JD.US JD.com	FMP Stock News	78
Original source text JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) says its massive artificial intelligence (AI) spending is paying off, offering a rare bright spot as many global corporations struggle to turn AI adoption into bottom-line profits. During its second-quarter earnings call, the Chinese e-commerce giant said its investments in generative AI are beginning to show results. Improved customer experience, advertising efficiency, and a reshaped cost structure are among the areas it mentioned. “Our deep integration of AI is delivering measurable progress, enhancing customer satisfaction while structurally refining our cost structure,” CEO Sandy Ran Xu said during the earnings call. Xu also pointed to AI-enhanced product search and recommendations, as well as supply chain operations. Rather than treating AI as a standalone initiative, JD.com is embedding the technology into day-to-day operations, she explained. Advertising Is Emerging as a Key AI Use CaseAmong the areas seeing tangible benefits is JD.com’s advertising business. CFO Ian Su Shan said the company has been “driving ad distribution efficiency by integrating AI into our algorithms,” which has improved how advertisements are matched with consumers and enhanced overall marketing effectiveness. That matters because advertising is a higher-margin business than traditional online retail. As AI improves targeting and campaign performance, it could help drive both revenue growth and profitability without requiring a proportional increase in operating costs. JD.com also said AI is supporting improvements in customer interactions and logistics, reinforcing its broader strategy of using automation to streamline operations rather than simply adding new AI-powered products. A Sign That AI Spending Is Beginning to Pay OffThe comments come as investors increasingly question whether Big Tech’s multibillion-dollar AI investments can generate meaningful returns. JD.com’s management suggested the company is beginning to move beyond the investment phase. “These investments are gradually translating into operational benefits,” Shan said, adding that AI is contributing to improvements across multiple parts of the business instead of delivering value through a single application. While the company did not quantify the financial impact of those gains, the earnings call offered one of its clearest indications yet that management considers AI to be a source of measurable operational improvement rather than simply a future growth initiative. The AI, ROI DisconnectJD.com is defying broader corporate trends where AI spending has yet to translate into major bottom-line gains. According to 2025 research from McKinsey & Company, nearly eight in 10 companies using generative A.I. have reported "no significant bottom-line impact." The core disconnect McKinsey flagged in mid-2025 is still very much alive heading into late 2026 — it just looks a little different now. McKinsey’s own follow-up survey (fielded June–July 2025, a bit after the piece you cited) found adoption climbing even further, with 88% of organizations now using AI in at least one business function, up from 78% previously. But the value side barely budged: only 39% of respondents attribute any enterprise-level EBIT impact to AI at all, and most of those say it’s under 5% of EBIT.

Hrubá marže retailu stoupla na 18,5 % a provozní marže dosáhla 4,6 %. JD.US JD.com	FMP Stock News	86
Original source text Key Takeaways JD expects retail revenues to return to growth in Q3 after a 4.7% YoY decline in Q2.JD.com's retail gross margin rose 1.3 points to 18.5%, while operating margin reached 4.6%.JD.com cut food-delivery losses by over 50% as subsidies fell and delivery efficiency improved. JD.com, Inc. (JD - Free Report) used its second-quarter 2026 earnings call to frame the quarter as a profitability inflection while signaling that JD Retail should return to positive revenue growth in the third quarter. Management tied the expected recovery to easing comparison pressure, supply-chain execution and healthy general merchandise growth. The company’s second-quarter non-GAAP earnings per ADS of $0.93 topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.86. However, revenues of $51.1 billion missed the $51.55 billion estimate. Management emphasized margin durability, food-delivery loss reduction and second-half growth. JD Eyes a Q3 Retail Growth PivotChief executive officer (CEO) Sandy Xu said JD Retail's momentum improved in June and expects the segment to return to positive revenue growth in the third quarter after second-quarter revenues fell 4.7% year over year. In Q&A, a UBS analyst asked about the electronics and home appliance outlook. The CEO said growth should improve as last year's trade-in comparison base normalizes, while inventory management helps cushion component-driven price pressure. Xu also expects general merchandise to maintain healthy growth, supported by supermarkets and third-party participation. JD Retail's third-party GMV has outpaced first-party GMV for three consecutive quarters. JD.com Protects Margin Through Mix and EfficiencyChief financial officer (CFO) Ian Shan highlighted JD Retail's gross margin of 18.5%, up 1.3 percentage points year over year, and a 4.6% operating margin, a record for peak promotional seasons. The CFO tied the improvement to supply-chain efficiency, better product margins, commissions and advertising, while marketing efficiency created room for higher AI-focused research and development spending. In Q&A, a Jefferies analyst asked about the second-half margin outlook. Shan said JD Retail’s gross margin should keep improving and reiterated a long-term high-single-digit margin target, even as research and development expenses continue growing. JD Food Delivery Losses Keep NarrowingCEO Xu said JD Food Delivery cut losses by more than 50% year over year while maintaining healthy order growth, aided by lower subsidy per order, better delivery efficiency and growing commission and advertising revenues. CFO Shan said New Businesses' operating loss narrowed to RMB9.9 billion in the second quarter, and food-delivery losses should decline substantially year over year in the second half. In Q&A, a Citi analyst asked about food-delivery scale and synergies. CEO Xu emphasized cross-sell, user acquisition and fulfillment integration with logistics while keeping scale growth tied to unit economics improvement. JD.com Sees More Advertising UpsideCEO Xu said monthly active users, quarterly active customers and Plus members all grew at double-digit rates, while management is shifting from rapid acquisition toward improving user quality and lifetime value. CFO Shan noted marketplace and marketing revenues rose 8.3% year over year, faster than total revenues, with advertising showing stronger momentum. In Q&A, a Citi analyst asked about second-half monetization. The CFO said advertising growth should accelerate as sales recover, supported by AI-driven targeting, general merchandise mix and incremental traffic from food delivery. JD Balances Overseas Expansion and ReturnsA Goldman Sachs analyst asked whether stronger free cash flow could support a formal shareholder-return ratio. CFO Shan reiterated a flexible mix of reinvestment, dividends and share repurchases focused on long-term total shareholder returns. The CFO said JD repurchased $1 billion of shares in the first half, equal to about 2.5% of outstanding ordinary shares at year-end 2025, with roughly $1 billion remaining under the program. On Joybuy, CEO Xu said revenues doubled within two quarters, and investment will rise as service coverage expands, but spending will remain disciplined and manageable while unit economics improve. JD.com Keeps the Focus on Profitable GrowthManagement's second-half message centered on reaccelerating revenue alongside continued efficiency gains. CEO Xu emphasized supply-chain execution, AI integration and financial discipline across new businesses. CFO Shan said the group expects profit growth to accelerate in the second half, supported by core retail health and narrower new-business losses. JD’s Zacks Rank & Style Scores Show Mixed SignalsJD currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), and A grades for Value, Growth, Momentum and VGM Score. Under the Zacks Style Score framework, A is the strongest grade, and favorable style scores complement the rank. The combination reflects broad style strength but lacks the higher timeliness associated with Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) stocks. The Zacks Rank can change as earnings estimates are revised following the just-reported results. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

ADR) v celkové hodnotě 1,0 mld. USD. Komentář vedení „Naše výsledky za druhý kvartál odrážejí odolný a kvalitní provoz," uvedla generální ředitelka Sandy Xu. „Navzdory krátkodobým tlakům na tržby jsme dosáhli silného růstu na úrovni zisku, což představuje jasný zlom v našem ziskovém trendu. Toto zlepšení bylo taženo především solidní ziskovostí našeho klíčového byznysu JD Retail a pokračujícím zužováním ztráty divize JD Food Delivery. Tyto výsledky podtrhují odolnost našeho obchodního modelu postaveného na dodavatelském řetězci a zaměření našeho týmu na provozní efektivitu – tedy silné stránky, na kterých budeme dále stavět při odemykání dalšího potenciálu v průběhu druhé poloviny roku." „Ve druhém kvartále jsme dosáhli solidní ziskovosti i přes zpomalující dynamiku na úrovni tržeb," řekl finanční ředitel Ian Su Shan. „Provozní marže divize JD Retail dosáhla rekordní úrovně pro období hlavních promočních sezón. Tento výkon byl tažen zlepšením marží v některých klíčových kategoriích a příznivým mixem tržeb, jelikož vysokomaržové tržby z tržiště a marketingu nadále překonávaly očekávání. Ztráty v segmentu nových byznysů se meziročně výrazně zúžily, a to především díky pokračujícímu snižování ztráty v JD Food Delivery, zatímco naše strategické investice do Joybuy a Jingxi zůstaly podle plánu. Do budoucna bude náš robustní obchodní ekosystém nadále podporovat trvalou odolnost podnikání a zdravou finanční trajektorii. Díky našim solidním finančním výsledkům jsme v prvním pololetí odkoupili přibližně 2,5 % našich kmenových akcií v oběhu, což podtrhuje náš závazek přinášet akcionářům udržitelné výnosy." Pohled analytiků Analytici z Citi vnímají výsledky jako solidní, což připisují mírnějšímu meziročnímu poklesu tržeb z elektroniky a lepším tržbám z logistiky a dalších služeb. Analytici z Jefferies uvedli, že tržby byly lepší, než se čekalo, protože pokles růstu tržeb divize JD Retail byl mírnější, než se předpokládalo. Analytici z Morgan Stanley uvedli, že tržby jsou v souladu s očekáváním, zatímco ztráty nových segmentů podnikání jsou v mezikvartálním srovnání relativně stejné. Analytici z Vital Knowledge poznamenali, že výsledky ukazují solidní potenciál k růstu na úrovni zisku, tažený lepšími tržbami a překonáním očekávání u marží. Celkově podle nich společnost zaznamenala solidní ziskovost v klíčové maloobchodní divizi JD Retail a pokračující zužování ztráty v JD Food Delivery.

Original source text Key Takeaways JD.com may benefit from 618-driven traffic, demand and merchant activity across its retail ecosystem.Food delivery, JD Logistics and new retail initiatives could support engagement and transaction activity.Electronics demand and heavy investment in delivery, international expansion and AI may pressure margins. JD.com (JD - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 13. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for JD’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $51.55 billion, indicating an increase of 3.53% on a year-over-year basis. The consensus mark for second-quarter earnings is pegged at 86 cents per share, up by 5 cents over the past 30 days, indicating growth of 24.64% from the year-ago quarter's reported figure. JD beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in all the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 23.79%. Let us see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement. Key Factors to Note for JD’s Q2 EarningsJD.com is likely to see its second-quarter performance shaped by promotional activity, improving service engagement and retail ecosystem development. The 618 Grand Promotion, which ran from May 30 through June 18, likely supported customer traffic, merchandise demand and merchant participation. JD.com highlighted strong activity across online retail, offline stores and AI-powered products during the campaign, suggesting potential benefits for transaction volumes and advertising activity during the quarter. The company’s expansion of AI-enabled retail tools may have further supported traffic allocation, product discovery and merchant efficiency during the period. Service businesses are expected to have provided support. Food delivery may have continued to strengthen customer engagement and cross-category purchases, while JD Logistics is likely to have benefited from delivery activity and use of automation and robotics. The June launch of the first JD MALL in Hong Kong may have supported offline retail presence and provided additional exposure to electronics and home appliances. Meanwhile, the addition of South Korea’s 11Street official flagship store to JD.com’s cross-border platform may have broadened product selection and international merchant participation. However, electronics and home appliances are likely to have seen mixed demand, as the higher comparison base from last year’s trade-in activity and increased smartphone and PC prices may have influenced purchasing patterns. Promotional intensity during the 618 period may also have affected product mix and margins. Continued investment in food delivery and international expansion, including Joybuy, may have weighed on profitability, although improving operating efficiency is expected to have provided some offset. The company’s ongoing investments in AI and technology may also have kept operating expenses elevated during the quarter, while potentially supporting longer-term efficiency gains.

Make sense of global markets with the Trading Day newsletter. Sign up here. The charges, the first under the FSR, will be sent in the coming days and could come as early as Wednesday, one of the people said. JD.com said the statement of grounds is a normal procedural step. "We remain confident the transaction supports Europe's broader objectives around innovation and competitiveness. We continue to expect a positive conclusion of the process in the second half of 2026," the company said. The European Commission, which polices unfair foreign state aid, declined to ‌comment. In ⁠May, it opened a full-scale investigation into the deal, warning that JD.com may be receiving preferential financing, tax incentives and grants from the Chinese government that may have helped the company offer a higher price for Ceconomy. The acquisition will allow one of China's largest retailers to ⁠expand outside its home market via Ceconomy-owned electronic products retailers MediaMarkt and Saturn. The EU charges will come after the July 1 introduction of a €3 customs duty on previously exempt low-value packages ⁠and ahead of a forthcoming handling fee as the European Union seeks to curb what it calls unfair competition from largely Chinese retailers such as Shein, ⁠Temu and AliExpress. The number of e-commerce parcels arriving in the bloc has surged, reaching 5.8 billion in 2025 from 1.4 billion in 2022.
