JD Health: Lower Margin Direct Sales Biz Weighs Down Profitability

By Shifara Samsudeen, ACMA, CGMA

  • JD Health reported 2H2022 results. 2H revenue increased 55.5% YoY to RMB26.5bn (RMB24.2bn) while fall in GPM and an increase in fulfilment costs led to operating losses during the period.
  • Product revenues (JD Pharmacy) continues to account for a majority of JD Health’s revenues that generate lower GPM compared to Marketplace and other revenues.
  • JD Health’s share price has moved up over the last few months but further decline in GPM  could pull the share price down suggesting it could be a Good Short.

Yilli: Aggressions Backfired

By BOS Research

  • Yilli’s aggressive marketing in 2Q raised market concerns over intensifying competition
  • An outright price war is unlikely as its closest competitor, Mengniu, is not willing to follow suit
  • Margin remains under pressure on rising input cost
  • Trimmed fair value to CNY22.5 (from CNY26.1)
