Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 36% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 22, 2025
PDD may be setting up for a short-term upswing. Price signs point to a turn after a recent dip, and news suggests it is outpacing rivals this year. Temu's push into more countries adds fresh demand just as holiday promos arrive. Because this is a China-based listing, price can swing. Plan: buy on dips and watch for a move above $136 to show strength for the next 0-3 months, offering a favorable trade-off if momentum returns.
Primary drivers
- Buying pressure looks firm; recent average price is trending higher
- Temu is expanding overseas, adding new shoppers and sales worldwide
- Beating JD lately suggests PDD is winning more shoppers and share
- Upcoming shopping seasons and promos could lift traffic and sales soon
