On April 17, Arete upgraded JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) from ‘Neutral’ to ‘Buy’, while also raising its price target from $32 to $37. The target boost indicates an upside of almost 21% from the current price levels.

Similarly, earlier on April 14, the analysts at Macquarie also upgraded JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) from ‘Neutral’ to ‘Outperform’ while bumping their price target on the stock from $25 to $35.

The analyst cited JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:JD)’s improving earnings prospects for the upgrade, driven by the company’s shrinking quick commerce losses and a disciplined expansion into Europe under the JoyBuy brand.
