Episode 5 – PDD’s 46% Profit Surge: The Market’s Strange Reaction

PDD Holdings just delivered a 46% jump in net profit — a stunning beat that should have sent its stock soaring. Instead, the market barely blinked, with the stock inching up only 0.65% and trading volume ranking a modest 81st that day. What’s going on?

In this episode, we break down the paradox:

• Why blockbuster profits didn’t ignite a buying frenzy
• How analysts are split between “strong buy” and downgrades to neutral
• Why institutions like DNB Asset Management are buying while others remain cautious
• The regulatory and margin risks casting shadows over China’s e-commerce sector
• How Timu’s U.S. growth could be both a shield and a new risk factor for PDD

This is more than just another earnings report — it’s a case study in how global growth stories collide with market skepticism and geopolitical risk.
