JD.com Inc, the operator of China's second-biggest online mall, reported a surprise quarterly profit as investments in logistics and new arenas such as fashion attracted shoppers.

Net income was 1.01 billion yuan (S$207 million) in the three months ended September, the Beijing-based company said on Monday. That compares with the 114.1 million yuan loss expected by analysts. Sales for the quarter rose 39 per cent to 83.7 billion yuan, slightly above estimates.
