China’s internet companies reported intact 2Q25 top-line with mixed earnings results. The key focuses are on the latest quick commerce war and AI cloud and agent development. In 2Q25, we saw meaningful AI monetisation visibility contributing to incremental top-line growth, and expect this momentum to continue into 2H25. On the profitability front, margins will remain under pressure from heightened investments to fend off the intensifying competition in on-demand delivery. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
PDD’s 2Q25 earnings exceeded expectations. Revenue increased 7% yoy to Rmb104b, in line with consensus estimates, dampened by sluggish commission revenue growth. Non-GAAP net profit dropped 5% yoy to Rmb32.7b, 46% above consensus estimate. Non-GAAP net margin shrank 4ppt to 31.5%. Looking ahead, PDD expects its top-line growth and profitability to continue fluctuating due to its merchant support strategy. Upgrade to HOLD with a lower target price of US$117.00.

While the share of online vs offline spending remained stable, emerging channels are creating new growth opportunities. We believe the consumption momentum will be shaped by: a) impact from the temporary suspension of the national subsidies programme in five provinces, and b) changes in the food delivery competitive landscape.
