Price Forecast:

Bullish Case: JD.com set to benefit from bullish consumer sentiment and strong sales during the Singles’ Day event, paired with stimulus measures stimulating demand. Analysts anticipate a recovery in consumer confidence post-pandemic bolstered by government support.

1. Consumer spending recovery drives stock price up to $45 (60%);

2. Persistent competition leads to flat growth, stock stagnates around $39 (30%);

3. Economic downturn results in stock decline to $35 (10%).
