Both Alibaba (BABA) and JD.com (JD) posted better-than-expected sales for their March quarters last week. The tech giants are PDD's main competitors in China. Analysts were mostly positive on PDD's Q1 results. Morningstar analyst Chelsey Tam upped the research firm's fair value estimate for PDD stock to by 8% to 230.
PDD Holdings beat first-quarter revenue estimates on Wednesday, powered by its international shopping site Temu and growing consumer interest in its Chinese discount e-commerce platform Pinduoduo. The company's revenue rose 131% to 86.81 billion yuan ($11.99 billion) in the first quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of 75.66 billion yuan, based on LSEG data. PDD's shares were up 5.7% in pre-market trading.
Consumers in China have turned to less expensive shopping platforms such as Pinduoduo and Bytedance's Douyin at a time when a property sector downturn and rising local debt have weighed on the country's economic growth.
