Sales in its product segment, which includes online retail sales, rose 27% to 151.4 billion yuan ($23 billion) in the quarter.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders rose to 7.56 billion yuan from 612.3 million yuan a year earlier.

JD.com reported net revenue of 174.21 billion yuan ($26.47 billion) in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with 134.84 billion yuan last year.
