Key Factors at Play

Vipshop’s growing efforts to strengthen product offerings and improve product procurement are expected to have benefited its first-quarter performance.

Solid execution of Vipshop’s merchandising strategy is likely to have bolstered its total active customer base in the to-be-reported quarter.

VIPS’ quarterly results are expected to reflect its deepening focus on high-margin apparel-related businesses, especially the discount apparel business.

The business is expected to have accelerated Vipshop’s gross merchandise volume (GMV) in the quarter under review.

Additionally, its successful transition to discount retailing remains a major positive. This is anticipated to have continued driving the momentum across repeated customers and helped attract new ones.

VIPS’ deep discount channels are expected to have bolstered its online GMV in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, weakening consumer demand in discretionary categories due to the challenging macroenvironment in China might have been a negative.
