What This Transaction Means For Investors
Knuff & Co, a California-based investment manager, recently disclosed the sale of more than $5 million worth of JD shares during the fourth quarter (the three months ending on Dec. 31, 2025). Here’s what it means for investors.
JD, a Chinese e-commerce provider, is a stock that has been on a steady decline for years. Over the last three years, shares have retreated by nearly 68%, equating to a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -20.3%. The benchmark S&P 500, meanwhile, has advanced by 91% over the same period, with a CAGR of 13.9%. In other words, JD has massively underperformed in recent years, so it shouldn’t come as a shock that institutional investors, like Knuff, are reducing their exposure to the stock.
For everyday investors who are seeking exposure to the e-commerce market, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) like Global X E-commerce ETF (EBIZ 2.32%) might be a better fit. This fund has holdings throughout the e-commerce sector and has delivered better relative performance over the last few years.
