Temu parent company PDD Holdings saw its revenue grow but its operating profit fall during the second quarter, with executives saying the company is investing in “long-term impact.” PDD Holdings' revenue grew 7% year over year during the quarter to reach about 104 billion yuan ($14.
PDD Holdings delivered a double beat on earnings and revenue, surprising positively after a history of missing estimates. Despite the beat, revenue growth slowed to 9%, the weakest since early 2022, reflecting regulatory and macro headwinds. Valuation has increased compared to last year, while growth and profitability have softened, making me less bullish than before.
PDD Holdings Inc, parent company of online marketplace Temu, announced a 7% increase in its second-quarter 2025 revenue to 103.98 billion yuan, or about $14.5 billion, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of 102.7 billion yuan supplied by FactSet. The Chinese e-commerce giant's net income for the period, though, slipped 5% to 22.07 yuan, or $3.08, per share although it still exceeded the 15.53-yuan Wall Street consensus.
