JD Stock Plunges 1.91% as Trading Volume Slumps 35.63% to 193rd in Trading Value Rankings

On September 26, 2025, JD (JD) closed down 1.91% with a trading volume of $0.51 billion, representing a 35.63% decline from the previous day’s activity. The stock ranked 193rd in trading value among listed companies, reflecting reduced market participation despite its significant market presence.

Analysts noted that recent strategic shifts in the company’s logistics network and supplier partnerships have sparked investor caution. While the firm continues to expand its rural e-commerce footprint, concerns over margin pressures from competitive pricing strategies have weighed on short-term sentiment. The muted volume suggests limited follow-through buying, with institutional investors adopting a wait-and-see approach ahead of Q3 earnings disclosures.

To build this back-test accurately we’ll need a few clarifications: 1. Universe of stocks: Do you want to rank all U.S.–listed common stocks each day, or restrict the universe (e.g., S&P 500 constituents, Russell 3000, a custom list, etc.)? If the universe can change over time (e.g., index re-balances), should we use the live list each day or today’s constituents for the whole period? 2. Trade timing assumptions: Signal formation: rank by the same-day closing volume, then enter at the next day’s open? Exit: the next day’s close (i.e., a one-day holding period)? 3. Position sizing: Equal-weight across the selected 500 names each day? Any cash drag / transaction costs you want factored in? 4. Data source preference (if any) for daily volume and prices. Once these points are clear I can lay out the data-gathering plan and run the back-test.
