Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 26% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 1, 2025
PDD is a fast-growing Chinese online shopping company that recently dropped a lot and now shows signs of a rebound. The business looks healthier than some rivals, but investors worry about Chinese rules and fierce competition. Strong interest in China-focused funds can help PDD, but policy risk means watch closely with tight stops.
Primary drivers
- Pinduoduo and Temu are growing fast and taking market share.
- Price looks stretched low and recent trading shows heavy buying interest.
- Market mood is cautious because of China regulation and rivals.
- Strong performance of China-focused funds can bring buying to big names.
