Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 39% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 18, 2025
PDD looks temporarily out of favor, but the business is still performing well. A respected rating service ranks it highly, and many analysts see value, with targets near $145, above today's price. Pinduoduo and Temu continue to execute and win share. Over the next three months, the stock could rebound if price strength builds. Main risks are tougher rivals and shoppers cutting back. China demand swings could also add bumps.
Primary drivers
- Shares look beaten down, and mood around the stock is improving
- Top third-party rating suggests business and profits look solid
- Several analysts think a fair value is around $145 from today's price
- Pinduoduo and Temu are running well, helping win more online shoppers
