Xu pointed to gains in user traffic, active customers, and shopping frequency, noting that JD Food Delivery advanced in order volume, merchant base, and rider recruitment, supported by synergies with JD's broader retail ecosystem.

She said the company will keep its core retail segment as a foundation while investing in strategic growth areas to enhance user experience, cut costs, and improve efficiency.

JD.com ( JD ) stock declined over 6% year-to-date as investors remain wary of its food delivery business profitability.
