JD.com (NASDAQ: JD), one of China’s largest retailers, built its brand by cultivating an in-house logistics network that gives its services a sheen of timeliness and reliability. This made it stand out among China’s myriad of retailers, including Alibaba’s popular Taobao.com. Now, JD Logistics operates as a subsidiary that has taken on a life of its own—if all goes according to plan, it will be the fourth company in the JD network to have shares listed on a stock exchange, after JD.com itself, Dada Nexus, and JD Health.
