JD.com Inc JD reported second-quarter FY21 revenue growth of 26.2% year-on-year to $39.3 billion beating the analyst consensus of $38.3 billion.

In contrast, peers Amazon.com Inc's AMZN and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's BABA missed the analyst consensus on revenue.

Amazon's Q2 revenue of $113.0 billion, up 27% Y/Y, missed the consensus of $115.2 billion, pointing towards slower e-commerce growth with ease in lockdown. Amazon's Q3 guidance was well below the consensus, which too took a sharp drop. Alibaba's first-quarter FY22 revenue growth of 34% Y/Y to $31.87 billion missed the analyst consensus of $32.54 billion.

The Chinese tech stocks remain jittery over the country's growing crackdown on the sector.

The successful 618 Grand Promotion helped add over 32 million new users in Q2, the most significant single quarter increase in JD.com's history further supported by diversification of revenue stream.
