Food delivery loss likely narrowed qoq in 3Q25F

We estimate JD’s total 3Q25F revenue grew 13.6% yoy to Rmb295.7bn, while non-GAAP net profit decreased by 67.2% yoy to Rmb4.3bn.

Food delivery loss likely narrowed qoq to Rmb10bn in 3Q25F (from Rmb13bn in 2Q25), helped by improving unit economics and order volume.

We estimate JD retail’s rose 10.6% yoy in 3Q25F, with a 5.5% operating margin, mainly helped by strong growth in the general merchandise category.

We believe new business loss further expanded in 3Q25F, dragged by JD Jingxi and international businesses.
