By Michael Susin

 

JD.com's American depositary shares rose on Tuesday after the company said it will buy up to $5 billion worth of its shares and American depositary receipts.

ADRs in premarket trading were up 4.8% to $27.05.

The e-commerce company headquartered in Beijing said it approved the new share repurchase program with effect from September until the end of August 2027.

The buyback program comes a week after U.S. retailer Walmart sold its stake in JD.com, representing 144.5 million ADR, ending an eight-year investment in the Chinese e-commerce company.
