SEANA SMITH: All right, and also taking a look at jd.com, two of the Chinese tech companies subsidiaries filing for an IPO in Hong Kong on Thursday. Now, jd.com's property and industrials business filed for the IPOs. And jd.com would hold more than 50% of both companies' stock. You're looking at a gain of almost 8% today. So it looks like more of a split here among some of these larger tech plays.

DAVE BRIGGS: It's been a tough go, though, with the stock down 38% over the last two years.
