On the 21st, both tickers rose by 6% and 15% respectively. On the 22nd, they fell by 10% and 2% respectively.  This form of performance imputed on a high-conviction mega-stock clearly

$PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$ Temu has 45 million MAU in Europe, while Amazon has 110 million. It seems there is really a twofold potential, but the breakthrough in Europe might be even more significant than in the US.In Europe, it all comes down to three key countries: the UK, Germany, and France.
