PDD Pops On Fine Clarity: Regulatory Cloud Lifting?
PDD Holdings rose more than 5% in overnight trading after regulators imposed a minor RMB 100,000 fine for delayed tax information reporting.

Does this light fine mark the end of near-term regulatory overhang for PDD?
After recent volatility, can PDD refocus market attention on fundamentals and growth?
