<li>We do not expect there will be huge selling in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jd-com-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29043:1" rel="noopener">JD.com Inc. (9618 HK)</a> immediately. However, there will be an overhang on the stock in the near to medium term.</li>
<li>JD.com could drop in the next few days as the ADR allotment is sold in the market. Shorts that have been built up could soak up some of the flow.</li>
<li>The big worry is the US$4bn of JD.com stock that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/prosus-nv" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28104:1" rel="noopener">Prosus</a> will receive. It is likely they will look to sell and use the cash to buy back their own stock.</li>
