HONG KONG -- Chinese online retailer JD.com said Wednesday it may repurchase up to $3 billion worth of shares through March 2027, sending the company's U.S.-listed stock soaring.

JD reported a better-than-expected fourth-quarter net revenue of 306.1 billion yuan ($42.5 billion) on Wednesday, up 3.6% on the year, as Chinese e-commerce groups wage a price war amid an economic downturn.
