Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 49 days.
The thesis — published July 7, 2025
Large investment funds just poured about $1.9 billion into an emerging-market fund that owns Chinese stocks, showing fresh overseas interest. At the same time, trading charts hint that many more buyers than sellers are stepping in. PDD’s online shopping turnover is growing roughly 30 percent, yet the shares cost only about 14 times the profit analysts expect for 2025, a lower price tag than similar companies worldwide. Positive mood is strong and possible summer spending incentives from Beijing could nudge the stock above $110 and toward $128 within three months.
Primary drivers
- Buying activity and a series of higher lows suggest the price could push past $110 soon.
- $1.9 billion flowing into a big fund shows professional investors want more China exposure.
- Online sales are up about 30 percent and ad fees are rising, backing strong revenue growth.
- Expected government spending boosts later this year could draw more shoppers to the platform.
