Better Buy: Etsy vs. JD.com
Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) and JD.com (NASDAQ: JD) are two very different types of e-commerce companies. Etsy, which mainly operates in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia, is a leading marketplace for handmade goods. JD.com is China's largest direct retailer and the country's second-largest e-commerce company after Alibaba (NYSE: BABA).
But both e-commerce stocks generated massive gains for investors over the past 12 months. Etsy's stock skyrocketed more than 300% as the pandemic forced more people to shop online. JD's stock more than doubled as shoppers flocked to its platform throughout the pandemic, even more so after China largely contained the crisis in the first half of 2020.
