Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $49.3B in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

JD.com is one of China's largest online shopping platforms. It sells electronics, appliances, clothing, groceries, and thousands of other products directly to Chinese consumers. Unlike many rivals, JD owns and operates its own warehouses and delivery network, which allows it to offer same-day or next-day shipping across much of China.

JD makes most of its money by buying goods from suppliers and reselling them directly — similar to how Amazon's retail business works. It also earns fees from third-party sellers who list products on its marketplace, plus revenue from advertising and logistics services. The company operates almost entirely in China, generating roughly $150 billion in annual revenue, making it one of the largest retailers in the country by sales volume. Its self-built logistics infrastructure is a key competitive advantage, but slowing consumer spending in China and intense competition from rivals like Alibaba and Pinduoduo remain significant risks to growth.

Revenue declining

JD.com's revenue is actually shrinking. In a growth stock, that removes the core investment thesis. The low Winston Score here may be warranted — unless there's a turnaround story.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
