The Zhitong Finance App learned that Citibank released a research report saying that after JD Logistics (02618) announced that it would begin recruiting full-time riders, it believed that there was some synergy between full-time takeaway riders and JD Logistics' last-kilometer express delivery business due to the different peak periods of the two businesses. Based on low valuation considerations, Citi maintained JD Logistics's “buy” rating and target price of HK$18, which is equivalent to 12 times the projected price-earnings ratio for 2025. Citi believes that JD may prioritize traffic allocation to JD Logistics' proprietary platform riders, and this new move may become a new driving force for JD Logistics's long-term revenue growth.
