JD.com (NASDAQ: JD), the largest direct retailer in China, recently posted its fourth-quarter earnings. Its revenue rose 31% year over year to 224.3 billion yuan ($34.4 billion), beating analysts' estimates by $710 million.

Its non-GAAP net income surged 194% to 2.4 billion yuan ($0.4 billion), or $0.23 per American depositary share (ADS), which exceeded analysts' expectations by $0.05 a share.
