JD: A Deeply Undervalued Big Tech Play

Summary JD.com is a leading Chinese e-commerce platform with mid-single-digit top line growth and a 5.9x forward P/E valuation. JD Retail, the core business, drives 85% of revenues and relies heavily on new partnerships with major appliance brands. I am bullish on JD's aggressive AI-driven CapEx, which is expected to modernize the platform, boost engagement, and potentially expand gross margins and free cash flow. Despite intense competition and low industry margins, JD's profitability, scale, and AI monetization efforts present a compelling upside catalyst for a re-rating.

Eightco Holdings: A Tiny Public Backdoor To OpenAI, But Dilution Is The Catch

Summary Eightco Holdings is best viewed as a speculative treasury play with indirect OpenAI exposure, not as an operating company. I rate ORBS a Hold, driven by its $90M indirect OpenAI stake via SPVs, despite major dilution and weak operating performance. ORBS's operating business is deteriorating, with Q1 2026 revenue down to $7.6M and a net loss of $76.1M, making asset value the primary focus. Massive dilution and lack of transparency in the OpenAI SPV structure are key risks; I recommend monitoring for AI IPO-driven momentum. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
