Pomerantz LLP has launched an investigation on behalf of JD.com investors after China's State Administration for Market Regulation summoned company representatives over alleged false advertising tied to the '618' midyear online shopping festival. The probe raises questions about JD.com's marketing controls, legal exposure, and corporate governance practices. JD.com's ongoing share buyback program has retired about 15.87% of shares since 2024 and continued into early 2026, which could amplify per-share earnings if profitability recovers but also sharpens focus on how management balances buybacks with potentially higher legal and compliance costs. The company's narrative projects CN¥1517.4 billion revenue and CN¥45.1 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 6.2% yearly revenue growth and an earnings increase of about CN¥6.4 billion from CN¥38.7 billion today. Before this news, the most bullish analysts assumed JD.com could lift earnings to about CN¥58.1 billion by 2029, while warning that global regulatory risks tied to international expansion might bite harder than consensus expects.
