PDD's Valuation Takes Hit From Competition, Temu's Expansion Cost -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-25 11:50

0350 GMT - PDD's fair value estimate is lowered 11% by Morningstar amid fierce domestic competition and its overseas marketplace Temu's expansion costs. Among China's e-commerce companies, Morningstar prefers JD.com over PDD as the former is a bigger beneficiary of China's home-appliance trade-in program and has implemented share buyback and dividend programs to reward shareholders, analyst Chelsey Tam says in a research note. "Considering Temu is still growing rapidly, we don't expect PDD to return capital to shareholders in the next three years," she says. Alibaba is Morningstar's least favorite Chinese e-commerce stock due to uncertainty of profitability outlook amid heavy investment. PDD's ADR last ended at US$100.07. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
