JD.com Unusual Options Activity

After years of being the poster child for China&#8217;s regulatory reckoning, Alibaba (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is now sending a different sort of signal to shareholders: It&#8217;s back, it&#8217;s profitable and it&#8217;s on the AI wave on a large scale. And for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF investors</a>, its return may be more than a BABA-centric tale, which might be a sign of a wider reawakening for China-centric tech ETFs.
The Numbers Don&#8217;t Lie, They Shout
Alibaba&#8217;s most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow">recent quarterly earnings</a> showed that the company&#8217;s revenue increased 7% year-over-year in the March quarter, which was a miss. However, operating income skyrocketed 93%, and adjusted EBITA jumped 36%. The jaw-dropping number? Net income expanded to $1.65 billion, an eye-opening 1,203% jump from the prior-year period. Even stripping out one-time gains, non-GAAP net income was up 22%. The company has also stepped up expenses, cut share-based compensation in half, and streamlined its sprawling platforms—all while accelerating cash flow by 18%. For a company once seen as a regulatory landmine, Alibaba is now flexing financial discipline and strategic clarity.

As e-commerce remains the company&#8217;s anchor business, Alibaba&#8217;s Cloud Intelligence Group is shaping up to be the next significant growth driver. The cloud unit increased revenue by 18% YoY to $4.15 billion, while adjusted EBITDA surged 69%. But the real news is what&#8217;s fueling that growth: artificial intelligence.
Alibaba has now reported seven straight quarters of triple-digit revenue growth from AI-driven cloud products. CEO Eddie Wu has referred to generative AI as the key driver here, a trend that international investors are following closely, particularly as AI emerges as the next wave across enterprise and consumer applications. The ETF Implication: Who&#8217;s Holding The Bag (In A Good Way)?
For&nbsp;investors&nbsp;in&nbsp;ETFs who want&nbsp;to&nbsp;play&nbsp;Alibaba&#8217;s&nbsp;rebound&nbsp;without&nbsp;committing&nbsp;all&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;single&nbsp;stock,&nbsp;there&nbsp;are many&nbsp;funds&nbsp;with&nbsp;significant&nbsp;exposure: KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>)
With 12% weighting in Alibaba, KWEB has been a favorite among those wagering on the Chinese internet rebound. The ETF also provides some exposure to Tencent (OTCPK: TCEHY), JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), and Meituan, providing diversified access to the group. Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>)
This fund invests in U.S.-listed Chinese shares, such as Alibaba (8% weightage), and goes heavy on tech-heavy names. It provides a pure play for those interested in the innovation economy of China without having to contend with A-shares. iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>)
A more diversified China play and a significant position in Alibaba (~10%), MCHI may attract investors who want to mix tech with some exposure to financials, real estate, and industrials. Not All Dragons Breathe Fire
While Alibaba&#8217;s Q4&nbsp;results&nbsp;are&nbsp;certainly&nbsp;to be applauded, it&#8217;s not&nbsp;a&nbsp;decade&nbsp;of&nbsp;peace&nbsp;and&nbsp;prosperity&nbsp;on the China tech horizon. The&nbsp;larger&nbsp;China tech&nbsp;story&nbsp;is&nbsp;still&nbsp;susceptible&nbsp;to geopolitical&nbsp;stress,&nbsp;local&nbsp;regulator&nbsp;switches, and sentiment investor turns. ETFs can insulate single-stock risk but aren&#8217;t proof against macro headwinds.
Nevertheless, the green shoots are difficult to overlook. Following years of investor doubts, Alibaba&#8217;s robust quarter may be the catalyst China tech ETFs have been waiting for.
For ETF investors, particularly those who hold long positions in KWEB, PGJ, and MCHI, the last earnings call hinted that the tide could be turning for China tech. With AI traction, cloud profitability, and a solid core commerce engine, Alibaba no longer looks like a cautionary tale. The Alibaba stock is up 38% year-to-date.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

JD.com's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NYSE">JD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.72% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.44 million shares sold short, which is 1.81% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.68 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>JD.com Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748451639_0_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for JD.com has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing JD.com's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JD.com's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.71%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Do Investors Really Feel About JD.com?

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on JD.com, Lowers Price Target to $42

China's Meituan (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPNGY#OTC">MPNGY</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) have experienced a major selloff, triggered by the battle to win the food delivery war in the country, resulting in the loss of over $100 billion combined in market value since late 2024.
What Happened: Meituan and JD.com's Hong Kong-listed shares have plunged more than 30% from their October 2024 peaks, making them among the worst performers on the Hang Seng Tech Index, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-27/meituan-jd-com-s-food-delivery-war-worsens-100-billion-rout?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Meituan's stock dropped over 5% on Tuesday after it reported March-quarter earnings this week, though it has since recouped some losses. However, it is still down 15% year-to-date.

Why It's Important: Earlier this month, it was reported that Alibaba Group Holding's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Ele.me and JD.com's JD Takeaway are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45365815/why-alibaba-and-jdcom-are-basically-buying-you-coffee-to-win-the-30-minute-delivery-race">competing fiercely in the</a> instant retail space, where products are expected to be delivered within 30 to 60 minutes.
JD.com has also been pouring money into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45400599/only-reasonable-profits-jdcom-takes-aim-at-global-food-delivery-economics-with-zero-commission-modelrevives-founders-035-principle">discounts and promotions</a> to boost its relatively new food delivery platform. The company's cash-burning strategy has pressured Meituan, the market leader, into responding with its own costly incentives.
The report noted another reason behind the drop being investors' shift toward companies with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44103985/74-of-deepseeks-output-mimics-openais-chatgpt-new-study-reveals-it-does-raise-questions-about-its-development">greater artificial intelligence</a> capabilities, a trend accelerated by DeepSeek.
JD.com has a growth score of 78.15, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to compare it with other stocks</a>.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in JD.com

Legendary investor and hedge fund manager Michael Burry recently doubled down on his investment in cosmetics giant Estée Lauder Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>). Burry's move could reflect a strategic bet on the so-called &#8220;Lipstick Index,&#8221; which suggests consumers turn to more affordable luxuries like cosmetics<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484735/michael-burry-makes-major-portfolio-shift-holding-only-one-asset-he-deems-recession-proof"> during economic downturns.</a>
What To Know: According to its most recent SEC filing, Burry's hedge fund Scion Asset Management doubled its stake in Estée Lauder in the first quarter of 2025. The investment firm purchased an additional 100,000 shares in the world&#8217;s second-largest cosmetics company, bringing its total holdings to 200,000 shares.

Burry shot to fame after correctly predicting and reaping a massive profit from the US property market meltdown of 2008, which sparked a worldwide financial crisis. His extraordinary move at the time to take on Wall Street titans and wager against an overheated housing market has been captured in Michael Lewis&#8217;s book &#8220;The Big Short&#8221; and a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Short_(film)">Hollywood movie</a> by the same name.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Burry&#8217;s Latest Positions</h3>
Burry closed out all of Scion's long positions in Chinese tech companies and opened short positions in several of the same stocks including Alibaba Group Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>). Scion also opened a short position in Trip.com Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCOM#NASDAQ">TCOM</a>), the largest online travel agent in China.
In fact, Estée Lauder is the hedge fund's only remaining long position.&nbsp;
Burry's investment in the cosmetics company could be viewed as a play on the Lipstick Index, which holds that even during a recession, consumers will continue to purchase cosmetics as affordable indulgences.
"The Lipstick Index doesn't just apply to lipstick. The theory behind the Lipstick Index is that when money is tight, consumers substitute costly purchases with cheap luxuries like lipstick," Kevin Shahnazari, founder of FinlyWealth, told LevelFields. "In the 2008 recession, cosmetics sales increased, showing that even in tough times, individuals crave tiny comfort purchases that give psychological boosts without a hefty financial outlay," Shahnazari added.

'Big Short' Legend Michael Burry Bets Big On Lipstick Index: Is He Bracing For A Recession?

Michael Burry, famed for his highly profitable bet against the U.S. housing market in 2008, has recently shifted to a bearish stance on Chinese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45461072/the-big-short-fame-michael-burry-doubled-estee-lauder-stake-despite-slump-bet-against-nvidia-and-dumps-china-stocks-amid-trade-war-jitters-in-q1">technology stocks.</a>
Burry's pivot is notable because he was previously bullish on China tech companies and held significant long positions in companies like Alibaba Group Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) as recently as late 2024.

However, the latest SEC filings show a marked reversal: Burry's hedge fund, Scion Asset Management,&nbsp; acquired put options against several major Chinese tech companies.&nbsp;
The Details: In the first quarter of 2025, Burry completely liquidated his previous positions in Alibaba, JD.Com, Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and PDD Holdings Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and purchased put options on each of the Chinese tech names.&nbsp;
Burry's bearish pivot on China came in the quarter before the announcement of new tariffs on Chinese goods by President Donald Trump, which heightened trade tensions and roiled global markets. The timing suggests the experienced investor anticipated increased volatility or downside risk in Chinese equities amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty.&nbsp;
Scion also purchased a sizable amount of put options on NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the first quarter, which now makes up nearly half of its portfolio.&nbsp;
The hedge fund's only long position in the most recent quarter's filing was Estee Lauder Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>).&nbsp;

Benchmark analyst Fawne Jiang maintained Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) with a Buy and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$190&nbsp;to&nbsp;$176</a> on Friday.
Alibaba reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal fourth-quarter</a> revenue growth of 7% to $32.58 billion, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $33.08 billion. It clocked an adjusted earnings per ADS of $1.73, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.48.

Revenue from Taobao and Tmall Group grew by 9% to $13.97 billion. Revenue from Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group increased by 22% to $4.63 billion, driven by the growth of cross-border businesses. In addition:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Local Services Group revenue grew by 10% to $2.22 billion</li>
<li>Orders for Amap and Ele.me grew </li>
<li>Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited's revenue decreased 12% to $2.97 billion.</li>
<li>Cloud Intelligence Group revenue grew by&nbsp;18%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$4.15 billion.</li>
<li>Digital Media and Entertainment Group rose&nbsp;12%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$765 million.</li>
<li>Customer management revenue (CMR) grew 12%</li>
<li>Cloud revenue accelerated to high teens, fueled by strong demand for AI services.</li>
</ul>
Jiang blamed Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group&#8217;s soft performance and outdated consensus estimates.
Looking ahead, Jiang expects CMR to continue outpacing GMV growth through fiscal 2026, supported by sustained take rate gains, and Cloud to maintain momentum with new customer onboarding and cross-selling. AIDC growth may moderate amid evolving global trade dynamics. At the same time, Ele.me ramps up investment in food delivery and instant commerce in partnership with Taobao and Tmall Group to defend against JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and offensively drive engagement via Taobao app integration.
Jiang raised his revenue projections for CMR and TTG but lowered the group-level growth forecast to 6% (from 11% previously, excluding asset divestitures), reflecting AIDC resets and potential headwinds from Ele.me.
While the fiscal fourth quarter was not clean, and near-term margin pressure remains a concern, the analyst continues to view Alibaba as a leading beneficiary of accelerated AI adoption in China and a top structural player in the sector.
Jiang projected fiscal 2026 revenue of $134.44 billion and EPS of $8.50. He expects fiscal 2027 revenue of $146.03 billion and EPS of $11.01.
Price Action:&nbsp;BABA shares traded higher by&nbsp;0.64%&nbsp;at&nbsp;$124.69 at&nbsp;the last check on Friday.

Alibaba Misses Revenue, But AI Cloud Has Silver Lining

&#8216;The Big Short&#8217; famed investor Michael Burry, who accurately predicted the 2008 housing market crash, has turned bearish on most equities while doubling his stake in cosmetics giant Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>) during the first quarter, according to 13F regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
What Happened: Burry&#8217;s Scion Asset Management increased its position in Estée Lauder to 200,000 shares from 100,000 shares at the end of the fourth quarter, despite EL stock being down 13.94% this year. The move comes as the beauty company pursues its &#8220;Beauty Reimagined&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45179419/estee-lauders-beauty-gains-cant-offset-global-headwinds-says-analyst">recovery strategy amid global headwinds</a>.
EL stock closed at $63.67 on Thursday, down 0.69% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 3.85% to $66.12, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The 13F report revealed significant portfolio adjustments, including Scion taking a substantial bearish position on artificial intelligence leader NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) through 900,000 put options. NVIDIA shares have retreated from their January all-time high of $153.13 amid macroeconomic concerns and worries about tariff impacts.

Why It Matters: Burry also completely liquidated his positions in Chinese tech companies, including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), and PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>). 
This exit coincides with President Donald Trump&#8216;s April announcement of hefty import tariffs targeting China, though both nations recently agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44946516/goldman-sachs-ceo-says-trumps-90-day-tariff-pause-increased-the-level-of-uncertainty-triggered-market-repricing">suspend reciprocal levies for 90 days</a>.
The hedge fund manager also exited healthcare positions in HCA Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCA#NYSE">HCA</a>), Oscar Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OSCR#NYSE">OSCR</a>), and Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>).
Analysts note that while Estée Lauder delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45179419/estee-lauders-beauty-gains-cant-offset-global-headwinds-says-analyst">stronger-than-expected third quarter earnings</a> with improved margins and cost control, the company still faces challenges, particularly in Asia travel retail and a softening North American market.

'The Big Short' Fame Michael Burry Doubled Estée Lauder Stake Despite Slump, Bet Against Nvidia And Dumps China Stocks Amid Trade War Jitters In Q1

Soros Fund Management Cuts Stake In JD.com From 1.75M Shares To 175K Shares

JD.com shares are trading lower after several firms cut their respective price targets on the stock.

Susquehanna analyst Shyam Patil maintains JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $45 to $40.

Susquehanna Maintains Neutral on JD.com, Lowers Price Target to $40

Shares of JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) fell 4.3% to $34.16 Thursday morning, tracking a broader decline in Chinese e-commerce stocks after Alibaba Group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow">reported</a> mixed fiscal fourth-quarter results. Alibaba stock slid 7% to $124.60 despite a better-than-expected earnings beat, as overall revenue disappointed investors.
What To Know: Alibaba reported quarterly revenue of $32.58 billion, up 7% year-over-year but shy of analysts' $33.08 billion estimate. While adjusted earnings per share of $1.73 exceeded expectations, the top-line miss <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow">raised concerns</a> about slower domestic consumption and heightened competition.

Investors appeared to be spooked by weakness in segments like Cainiao Logistics, which saw a 12% revenue decline due to restructuring, and a modest 8% growth in China's core retail business. Although international and cloud businesses showed strong momentum, they weren't enough to offset concerns.
JD.com, often seen as a peer and rival to Alibaba, was pulled lower in a sympathy selloff Thursday, as investors reassessed the outlook for the broader Chinese e-commerce sector. Alibaba's report is potentially casting a shadow over near-term growth prospects, despite ongoing recovery signals in China's consumer market.
