JD Retail – 95.73%

New businesses – 4.15%

JD.com is a young and fast growing company. Therefore, the company does not pay dividends – it is much more profitable to invest money back into the company for development. Despite localized services at the moment, the company can potentially enter not only the Asian markets.

But one should be wary of US policy towards China. Of course, after Trump’s departure from the presidency, relations between these two countries may change. However, so far, the tension still remains.

Thus, JD.com is relatively young with a lot of potential. But, despite this, there are still risks of investing in its shares. Such as a possible market correction and tensions between the US and China.
