Up 32% in 2025, Is Chinese E-Commerce Giant PDD Still a Buy?
From Nasdaq: 2025-03-27 07:45:00
PDD (NASDAQ: PDD) has seen a strong 32% return year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500. However, Q4 earnings showed slowed sales growth compared to analyst expectations, with revenue growth dropping significantly. Analysts increased price targets by 3% on average post-earnings, indicating a 15% upside potential for PDD shares.
The Trump administration’s potential elimination of the de minimis exemption on Chinese goods poses a significant risk to PDD. This exemption benefits its U.S. business, Temu, by allowing tariff-free goods under $800. Ending this exemption could create volatility in PDD’s revenue and earnings, impacting up to 500 million Chinese packages annually.
Despite competition and potential de minimis changes, PDD maintains a solid business model. With its merchant fee reduction program and uncertainty around tariffs, it may be wise to observe PDD’s financials for a few quarters. The stock is currently trading 40% below its all-time high, offering potential upside in the long term. 1. The stock market saw a significant downturn today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 500 points due to concerns over rising inflation rates and potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
