JD.com beat quarterly revenue estimates on Thursday, helped by a longer sales period for the annual 618 shopping festival, one of China's largest online retail events. The e-commerce giant reported a 2.9% decline in total revenue to 346.4 billion yuan ($51.37 billion) in the second quarter ended June, but higher than analysts' average estimate of 344.6 billion yuan, according to data compiled by LSEG. JD.com's first quarterly revenue decline in more than a decade highlights the challenge of reviving consumer spending amid concerns about job security and weak consumer confidence stemming from China's years-long property sector downturn.
