Bulls Say
Temu might break even faster than anticipated while maintaining an above-industry growth rate.
Despite concerns such as higher import taxes in the US for Temu, PDD could deliver better-than-expected overseas sales due to its strong adaptability.
If PDD successfully adopts generative AI in its platform, it could help customers buy products that meet their specific demands better than its peers, leading to market share gain.
Bears Say
If Temu loses its growth momentum faster than expected due to competition, it could lead to slow revenue growth for PDD.
Peers can recruit and maintain a vast majority of the merchants offering price-competitive products from Pinduoduo, leading to falling market share for the firm.
As the middle- and upper-income classes in China grow and the economy recovers, demand for rapid delivery becomes the dominant consumption trend. This benefits JD.com more than Pinduoduo, which focuses on value-for-money products.

PDD Holdings Inc Faces Significant Challenges Amid Regulatory Scrutiny and Competitive Pressures
- PDD Holdings Inc experienced a notable decline of 15.6% over the past month, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's positive return of 2.0%.
- The company's third-quarter earnings report revealed mixed results, with revenue growth falling short of market expectations.
- Investor sentiment turned bearish following regulatory scrutiny and competitive challenges within China's e-commerce sector.
Over the last month, PDD Holdings Inc saw a significant stock decline of 15.6%, which is an underperformance of 17.6% relative to the S&P 500's positive return of 2.0%. This downturn reflects increasing pressures on PDD due to heightened regulatory scrutiny and competition in China's e-commerce landscape. Key events contributing to this trend included an unannounced raid by EU competition authorities at Temu’s European headquarters, raising concerns about foreign subsidies affecting PDD’s operations.
Investor sentiment was further impacted by reports detailing physical altercations between Chinese regulators and PDD staff during audits, which raised questions about governance and compliance practices within the company. Additionally, mixed results from PDD's third-quarter earnings report contributed to its stock decline; while revenue grew by 9% year-over-year to ¥108.28 billion, it fell significantly short of market expectations set at ¥145 billion.
Despite adjusted net income rising by 14%, analysts noted a slowdown in revenue growth amid intensified competition and external uncertainties that could affect future performance forecasts for the company. Options trading activity also indicated bearish sentiment among investors as many engaged in put options targeting specific price ranges for PDD shares over recent months.
Throughout December, despite substantial declines leading up to their earnings announcement, it is noteworthy that PDD Holdings managed to outperform the Consumer Discretionary (XLY) sector by 31.7%. This suggests some resilience compared to peers amidst considerable headwinds faced during this turbulent month for its stock performance.
