Why is JD.com HK stock sliding today?

JD.com shares in Hong Kong fell about 8.8% to HK$112.2 after its Q2 results. Net revenues dropped 2.9% YoY to RMB 346.4 billion, the first quarterly contraction since 2014, while non-GAAP net income rose and EPS beat expectations. The sell-off also cited regulatory scrutiny of its proposed Ceconomy acquisition and competition from Alibaba and Meituan.
