Shares slumped by double-digits on Thursday, sending shares to a single-digit earnings multiple. For those not afraid of China exposure, PDD Holdings could be attractive, but risks shouldn't be ignored.</p><h2 id=\"id_1804130077\">Past Coverage On PDD Holdings</h2><p>I have written about PDD Holdings Inc. here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently in August, when shares slumped following the company's previous earnings release. I gave the company a "Buy" rating back then, with shares rising from just $96 to as much as $140, although PDD Holdings has now given back a large portion of those gains again. With three months having passed since my last article on the Chinese e-commerce player, and with the company releasing its Q3 results on Thursday, it is time for an update.</p><h2 id=\"id_3969469045\">PDD Holdings Q3 Financials</h2><p>Judging by the share price reaction to PDD Holdings' Q3 results, one could have guessed that results were disastrous -- shares are down 10% at the time of writing. But actual business growth was very appealing, although slightly below expectations, as we can see in the following screenshot from Seeking Alpha:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/08d87420877c80ace21e21c571cc80ee\" alt=\"PDD Holdings results (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"PDD Holdings results (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"211\"/><span>PDD Holdings results (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>Revenues missed estimates by around 1%, which is, I believe, far from a disaster, especially since PDD Holdings still grew its sales by more than 40% compared to one year earlier. The earnings per share miss was more pronounced, but a $0.31 earnings per share miss still does not necessarily justify a share price drop of $11, I believe. The market reacted this way, however, which may be due to the market already being worried about China-specific risks such as potential tariffs, China's real estate market downturn, and so on.</p><h2 id=\"id_1262621592\">PDD Holdings' Results: Growth Continues</h2><p>PDD Holdings is active in more than one country, but China is one of the country's main markets. There, competition is intense, with players such as Alibaba (BABA) and JD.com (JD) being active as well, and all of these companies are seeking to grow their business over time. At the same time, Chinese consumers are not in an overly strong spot right now, as some still worry about the country's real estate market, while China's economic growth is also lower than it was in the past (although still high compared to many other countries in the world).</p><p>While PDD Holdings didn't break out exact numbers in its earnings report, it is likely, I believe, that Temu's non-China business remained an important growth driver for PDD's overall business growth. In China, PDD likely didn't experience 40%+ revenue growth, as I believe that the relatively new (and controversial) business Temu delivered an outsized portion of PDD's overall revenue increase.</p><p>Revenue growth of 44% was excellent in absolute terms, but the growth rate was lower compared to the recent past. In the previous quarter, PDD Holdings had delivered an even larger revenue increase of 86%. Overall revenues did not decline, however, as Q3's revenue of $14.2 billion was slightly higher compared to the previous quarter, when PDD's sales had totaled $13.4 billion. The comparison had gotten tougher, however, likely due to Temu's better performance (wider adoption) in Q3 2023 versus Q2 2023. This means that achieving an extremely high relative year-over-year growth rate was easier in this year's Q2 compared to this year's Q3. On a sequential basis, revenues grew by around 6%, which pencils out to an annualized growth rate in the mid-20s. Further growth deceleration during the upcoming quarters thus seems quite possible. This isn't overly surprising, of course, as maintaining a high relative growth rate becomes harder and harder over time as a company grows in size, so it was unrealistic to believe that PDD would grow by 80% per year (or 40% per year) forever. A growth rate in the 20s would be far from bad, I believe, especially when we consider PDD Holdings' undemanding valuation.</p><p>Management's comments point in the same direction -- intense competition and macro headwinds are resulting in slowing growth. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VP..UK\">VP</a> of Finance, Ms. Jun Liu, said:</p><blockquote><p><em>“</em><strong><em>Our topline growth further moderated</em></strong><em> quarter-on-quarter amid intensified competition and ongoing external challenges. In our pursuit of high-quality development, we will continue to invest resolutely in building a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, which will be reflected in our results.”</em></p></blockquote><p>Looking at profitability, which is very important for investors, we see that PDD Holdings was able to grow its margins slightly compared to one year earlier. While more pronounced margin growth would have been even better, of course, I still like the fact that the company did not grow its business by sacrificing profits. Instead, the company expanded its margins slightly while being able to grow the business considerably, which is an attractive combination. Operating profits were up 48% compared to the previous year's quarter on an adjusted basis, while GAAP operating profits rose by 46% over the last year.</p><p>Non-GAAP net earnings per share came in lower than expected but were still up nicely versus the previous year's quarter, coming in at RMB18.59, which was up a hefty 60% from one year earlier, and which pencils out to $2.65, which was mostly in line with the company-wide net income growth rate, as PDD's share count didn't change much over the last year.</p><p>Cash generation was very healthy, at almost $4 billion, although that number was down compared to one year earlier. This could be due to the increased investments management talked about, but investors should nevertheless watch this metric going forward -- further declines in PDD's cash generation would be negative and might indicate low-quality earnings growth. Based on one quarter's results, there is no reason to panic, however.</p><p>On the cost side, PDD Holdings experienced an especially large increase in general and administrative expenses, which exploded upwards by 138%, rising to $260 million. That is still not a lot in absolute terms for a company that generates more than $14 billion in revenue, but the growth rate is a bit concerning. If R&D expenses were to grow much, one could argue that increased R&D expenses would lead to higher business growth down the road, but strong growth in G&A expenses is likely not an "investment" that will lead to better products or higher business growth. It would be good if PDD was able to slow down its G&A expense growth in the coming quarters, thus this is another item investors should keep an eye on going forward, I believe.</p><h2 id=\"id_1819407766\">Is PDD Stock A Good Investment?</h2><p>Buying PDD following August's price crash worked out very well, as PDD recovered quickly in the following weeks. This time, the same might happen -- although there is, of course, no guarantee for that. Based on current profit forecasts for this year, PDD Holdings is trading at just 9x net earnings, which makes for an 11% earnings yield. That is a low valuation in absolute terms, and especially undemanding for a company delivering revenue growth of close to 50% as of the most recent quarter.</p><p>That being said, there are some risks to consider: PDD Holdings is exposed to Chinese consumers, which means possible problems if China's housing market gets into even deeper problems.</p><p>For those who are not afraid of these risks and who want China exposure, PDD Holdings could be attractive, as it combines a low valuation with strong growth. But PDD isn't for everyone, and even for those who want to own it, I believe that exposure should be limited -- this isn't a low-risk stock where I would want an especially large allocation.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Shares slumped by double-digits on Thursday, sending shares to a single-digit earnings multiple. For those not afraid of China exposure, PDD Holdings could be attractive, but risks shouldn't be ignored.Past Coverage On PDD HoldingsI have written about PDD Holdings Inc. here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently in August, when shares slumped following the company's previous earnings release. I gave the company a \"Buy\" rating back then, with shares rising from just $96 to as much as $140, although PDD Holdings has now given back a large portion of those gains again. With three months having passed since my last article on the Chinese e-commerce player, and with the company releasing its Q3 results on Thursday, it is time for an update.PDD Holdings Q3 FinancialsJudging by the share price reaction to PDD Holdings' Q3 results, one could have guessed that results were disastrous -- shares are down 10% at the time of writing. But actual business growth was very appealing, although slightly below expectations, as we can see in the following screenshot from Seeking Alpha:PDD Holdings results (Seeking Alpha)Revenues missed estimates by around 1%, which is, I believe, far from a disaster, especially since PDD Holdings still grew its sales by more than 40% compared to one year earlier. The earnings per share miss was more pronounced, but a $0.31 earnings per share miss still does not necessarily justify a share price drop of $11, I believe. The market reacted this way, however, which may be due to the market already being worried about China-specific risks such as potential tariffs, China's real estate market downturn, and so on.PDD Holdings' Results: Growth ContinuesPDD Holdings is active in more than one country, but China is one of the country's main markets. There, competition is intense, with players such as Alibaba (BABA) and JD.com (JD) being active as well, and all of these companies are seeking to grow their business over time. At the same time, Chinese consumers are not in an overly strong spot right now, as some still worry about the country's real estate market, while China's economic growth is also lower than it was in the past (although still high compared to many other countries in the world).While PDD Holdings didn't break out exact numbers in its earnings report, it is likely, I believe, that Temu's non-China business remained an important growth driver for PDD's overall business growth. In China, PDD likely didn't experience 40%+ revenue growth, as I believe that the relatively new (and controversial) business Temu delivered an outsized portion of PDD's overall revenue increase.Revenue growth of 44% was excellent in absolute terms, but the growth rate was lower compared to the recent past. In the previous quarter, PDD Holdings had delivered an even larger revenue increase of 86%. Overall revenues did not decline, however, as Q3's revenue of $14.2 billion was slightly higher compared to the previous quarter, when PDD's sales had totaled $13.4 billion. The comparison had gotten tougher, however, likely due to Temu's better performance (wider adoption) in Q3 2023 versus Q2 2023. This means that achieving an extremely high relative year-over-year growth rate was easier in this year's Q2 compared to this year's Q3. On a sequential basis, revenues grew by around 6%, which pencils out to an annualized growth rate in the mid-20s. Further growth deceleration during the upcoming quarters thus seems quite possible. This isn't overly surprising, of course, as maintaining a high relative growth rate becomes harder and harder over time as a company grows in size, so it was unrealistic to believe that PDD would grow by 80% per year (or 40% per year) forever. A growth rate in the 20s would be far from bad, I believe, especially when we consider PDD Holdings' undemanding valuation.Management's comments point in the same direction -- intense competition and macro headwinds are resulting in slowing growth. VP of Finance, Ms. Jun Liu, said:“Our topline growth further moderated quarter-on-quarter amid intensified competition and ongoing external challenges. In our pursuit of high-quality development, we will continue to invest resolutely in building a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, which will be reflected in our results.”Looking at profitability, which is very important for investors, we see that PDD Holdings was able to grow its margins slightly compared to one year earlier. While more pronounced margin growth would have been even better, of course, I still like the fact that the company did not grow its business by sacrificing profits. Instead, the company expanded its margins slightly while being able to grow the business considerably, which is an attractive combination. Operating profits were up 48% compared to the previous year's quarter on an adjusted basis, while GAAP operating profits rose by 46% over the last year.Non-GAAP net earnings per share came in lower than expected but were still up nicely versus the previous year's quarter, coming in at RMB18.59, which was up a hefty 60% from one year earlier, and which pencils out to $2.65, which was mostly in line with the company-wide net income growth rate, as PDD's share count didn't change much over the last year.Cash generation was very healthy, at almost $4 billion, although that number was down compared to one year earlier. This could be due to the increased investments management talked about, but investors should nevertheless watch this metric going forward -- further declines in PDD's cash generation would be negative and might indicate low-quality earnings growth. Based on one quarter's results, there is no reason to panic, however.On the cost side, PDD Holdings experienced an especially large increase in general and administrative expenses, which exploded upwards by 138%, rising to $260 million. That is still not a lot in absolute terms for a company that generates more than $14 billion in revenue, but the growth rate is a bit concerning. If R&D expenses were to grow much, one could argue that increased R&D expenses would lead to higher business growth down the road, but strong growth in G&A expenses is likely not an \"investment\" that will lead to better products or higher business growth. It would be good if PDD was able to slow down its G&A expense growth in the coming quarters, thus this is another item investors should keep an eye on going forward, I believe.Is PDD Stock A Good Investment?Buying PDD following August's price crash worked out very well, as PDD recovered quickly in the following weeks. This time, the same might happen -- although there is, of course, no guarantee for that. Based on current profit forecasts for this year, PDD Holdings is trading at just 9x net earnings, which makes for an 11% earnings yield. That is a low valuation in absolute terms, and especially undemanding for a company delivering revenue growth of close to 50% as of the most recent quarter.That being said, there are some risks to consider: PDD Holdings is exposed to Chinese consumers, which means possible problems if China's housing market gets into even deeper problems.For those who are not afraid of these risks and who want China exposure, PDD Holdings could be attractive, as it combines a low valuation with strong growth. But PDD isn't for everyone, and even for those who want to own it, I believe that exposure should be limited -- this isn't a low-risk stock where I would want an especially large allocation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4133301963989642","authorId":"4133301963989642","name":"Chungcme","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4133301963989642","authorIdStr":"4133301963989642"},"content":"Not true.

Shares slumped by double-digits on Thursday, sending shares to a single-digit earnings multiple. For those not afraid of China exposure, PDD Holdings could be attractive, but risks shouldn't be ignored.</p><h2 id=\"id_1804130077\">Past Coverage On PDD Holdings</h2><p>I have written about PDD Holdings Inc. here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently in August, when shares slumped following the company's previous earnings release. I gave the company a "Buy" rating back then, with shares rising from just $96 to as much as $140, although PDD Holdings has now given back a large portion of those gains again. With three months having passed since my last article on the Chinese e-commerce player, and with the company releasing its Q3 results on Thursday, it is time for an update.</p><h2 id=\"id_3969469045\">PDD Holdings Q3 Financials</h2><p>Judging by the share price reaction to PDD Holdings' Q3 results, one could have guessed that results were disastrous -- shares are down 10% at the time of writing. But actual business growth was very appealing, although slightly below expectations, as we can see in the following screenshot from Seeking Alpha:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/08d87420877c80ace21e21c571cc80ee\" alt=\"PDD Holdings results (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"PDD Holdings results (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"211\"/><span>PDD Holdings results (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p>Revenues missed estimates by around 1%, which is, I believe, far from a disaster, especially since PDD Holdings still grew its sales by more than 40% compared to one year earlier. The earnings per share miss was more pronounced, but a $0.31 earnings per share miss still does not necessarily justify a share price drop of $11, I believe. The market reacted this way, however, which may be due to the market already being worried about China-specific risks such as potential tariffs, China's real estate market downturn, and so on.</p><h2 id=\"id_1262621592\">PDD Holdings' Results: Growth Continues</h2><p>PDD Holdings is active in more than one country, but China is one of the country's main markets. There, competition is intense, with players such as Alibaba (BABA) and JD.com (JD) being active as well, and all of these companies are seeking to grow their business over time. At the same time, Chinese consumers are not in an overly strong spot right now, as some still worry about the country's real estate market, while China's economic growth is also lower than it was in the past (although still high compared to many other countries in the world).</p><p>While PDD Holdings didn't break out exact numbers in its earnings report, it is likely, I believe, that Temu's non-China business remained an important growth driver for PDD's overall business growth. In China, PDD likely didn't experience 40%+ revenue growth, as I believe that the relatively new (and controversial) business Temu delivered an outsized portion of PDD's overall revenue increase.</p><p>Revenue growth of 44% was excellent in absolute terms, but the growth rate was lower compared to the recent past. In the previous quarter, PDD Holdings had delivered an even larger revenue increase of 86%. Overall revenues did not decline, however, as Q3's revenue of $14.2 billion was slightly higher compared to the previous quarter, when PDD's sales had totaled $13.4 billion. The comparison had gotten tougher, however, likely due to Temu's better performance (wider adoption) in Q3 2023 versus Q2 2023. This means that achieving an extremely high relative year-over-year growth rate was easier in this year's Q2 compared to this year's Q3. On a sequential basis, revenues grew by around 6%, which pencils out to an annualized growth rate in the mid-20s. Further growth deceleration during the upcoming quarters thus seems quite possible. This isn't overly surprising, of course, as maintaining a high relative growth rate becomes harder and harder over time as a company grows in size, so it was unrealistic to believe that PDD would grow by 80% per year (or 40% per year) forever. A growth rate in the 20s would be far from bad, I believe, especially when we consider PDD Holdings' undemanding valuation.</p><p>Management's comments point in the same direction -- intense competition and macro headwinds are resulting in slowing growth. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VP..UK\">VP</a> of Finance, Ms. Jun Liu, said:</p><blockquote><p><em>“</em><strong><em>Our topline growth further moderated</em></strong><em> quarter-on-quarter amid intensified competition and ongoing external challenges. In our pursuit of high-quality development, we will continue to invest resolutely in building a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, which will be reflected in our results.”</em></p></blockquote><p>Looking at profitability, which is very important for investors, we see that PDD Holdings was able to grow its margins slightly compared to one year earlier. While more pronounced margin growth would have been even better, of course, I still like the fact that the company did not grow its business by sacrificing profits. Instead, the company expanded its margins slightly while being able to grow the business considerably, which is an attractive combination. Operating profits were up 48% compared to the previous year's quarter on an adjusted basis, while GAAP operating profits rose by 46% over the last year.</p><p>Non-GAAP net earnings per share came in lower than expected but were still up nicely versus the previous year's quarter, coming in at RMB18.59, which was up a hefty 60% from one year earlier, and which pencils out to $2.65, which was mostly in line with the company-wide net income growth rate, as PDD's share count didn't change much over the last year.</p><p>Cash generation was very healthy, at almost $4 billion, although that number was down compared to one year earlier. This could be due to the increased investments management talked about, but investors should nevertheless watch this metric going forward -- further declines in PDD's cash generation would be negative and might indicate low-quality earnings growth. Based on one quarter's results, there is no reason to panic, however.</p><p>On the cost side, PDD Holdings experienced an especially large increase in general and administrative expenses, which exploded upwards by 138%, rising to $260 million. That is still not a lot in absolute terms for a company that generates more than $14 billion in revenue, but the growth rate is a bit concerning. If R&D expenses were to grow much, one could argue that increased R&D expenses would lead to higher business growth down the road, but strong growth in G&A expenses is likely not an "investment" that will lead to better products or higher business growth. It would be good if PDD was able to slow down its G&A expense growth in the coming quarters, thus this is another item investors should keep an eye on going forward, I believe.</p><h2 id=\"id_1819407766\">Is PDD Stock A Good Investment?</h2><p>Buying PDD following August's price crash worked out very well, as PDD recovered quickly in the following weeks. This time, the same might happen -- although there is, of course, no guarantee for that. Based on current profit forecasts for this year, PDD Holdings is trading at just 9x net earnings, which makes for an 11% earnings yield. That is a low valuation in absolute terms, and especially undemanding for a company delivering revenue growth of close to 50% as of the most recent quarter.</p><p>That being said, there are some risks to consider: PDD Holdings is exposed to Chinese consumers, which means possible problems if China's housing market gets into even deeper problems.</p><p>For those who are not afraid of these risks and who want China exposure, PDD Holdings could be attractive, as it combines a low valuation with strong growth. But PDD isn't for everyone, and even for those who want to own it, I believe that exposure should be limited -- this isn't a low-risk stock where I would want an especially large allocation.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That is a low valuation in absolute terms, and especially undemanding for a company delivering revenue growth of close to 50% as of the most recent quarter.That being said, there are some risks to consider: PDD Holdings is exposed to Chinese consumers, which means possible problems if China's housing market gets into even deeper problems.For those who are not afraid of these risks and who want China exposure, PDD Holdings could be attractive, as it combines a low valuation with strong growth. But PDD isn't for everyone, and even for those who want to own it, I believe that exposure should be limited -- this isn't a low-risk stock where I would want an especially large allocation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":8,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4133301963989642","authorId":"4133301963989642","name":"Chungcme","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4133301963989642","authorIdStr":"4133301963989642"},"content":"Not true.
