Over the past several months, JD.com has focused on shareholder returns and steady growth. On Nov 13, 2025 it reported 3Q25 revenues of RMB299.1 billion with margin improvement at JD Retail. A Jan 8, 2026 update detailed repurchases of about 183.2 million Class A shares (≈US$3.0 billion), canceling roughly 6.3% of shares. The Mar 5, 2026 release showed full‑year 2025 revenues of RMB1,309.1 billion and an annual dividend of US$1.0 per ADS. The current proposed CNY‑denominated notes contrast with this equity‑friendly backdrop by adding new debt funding.
