It reports net profit of 355.7m yuan for the first quarter, compared with a loss of 867.3m yuan previously
Beijing
JD.com Inc logged the first profit since its 2014 listing as an expanded product line-up lured more active users, but China's second largest e-commerce company cautioned that the cost of expanding at home and abroad could crimp future income growth.
