The presence of the logistics device experienced differentiated JD from significantly much larger rival Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), which uses third-get together delivery providers in which it owns a stake. Nevertheless it also meant that wherever JD produced additional income than Alibaba, it did so at substantially decrease profit margins, which is why an IPO has been an oft-mentioned probability.
