Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 75% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 22, 2025
Temu, PDD's overseas shopping app, is pulling in lots of U.S. customers, helping the stock stay strong. Even after this run, shares trade at about 18 times next year’s expected profits, cheaper than similar firms at 24 times. A recent sign of lower trade tension from Beijing cuts big-picture worry. With many analysts already negative, any good news could surprise. July sales data and late-August earnings might lift the price toward $140 within three months.
Primary drivers
- Temu's U.S. users soared 170 percent in a year, boosting overseas sales.
- Recent trading shows more buyers than sellers, keeping the price climbing.
- July 18 talk of easing trade tensions reduced worries about Chinese tech.
- Low expectations for Aug 23 earnings mean even mild beats could lift shares.
