Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 44% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 11, 2025
PDD keeps doing well in discount online shopping. Analysts are positive, and customer interest looks steady. Temu paid $2M to end a U.S. case, which seems small for a company this size, so the worry is limited. Recent average prices are trending up, but near-term signals are mixed, so patience helps. Consider buying on dips and watching for a move back above 130 with lots more buyers than usual over the next 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- Discount-focused online shopping is expanding fast as budgets stay tight
- Rising recent average prices alongside heavier trading interest lately
- Regulatory issues exist but recent $2M settlement keeps risk manageable
- Foreign listing and broader economy add caution to an otherwise strong setup
