What’s new: PDD’s reported 3Q24 results that were below consensus and our expectations. PDD will continue to invest substantial resources to support high-quality merchants on the platform which may drag margins in the near term. We maintain our PT at USD150. Analysts: Jin Yoon
PDD’s 3Q24 results missed street estimates. Revenue rose 44% yoy to Rmb99.4b, below consensus estimates by 3%, dampened by soft commission revenue growth. Non-GAAP net profit came in at Rmb27.5b, 6% below consensus estimate. Non-GAAP net margin expanded 3ppt to 27.6%. Looking ahead, PDD expects its top-line growth to continue being impacted by its merchant support strategy, and profitability should remain under pressure. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of US$160.00.

Data from the initial phase of the 11.11 campaign set a compelling prelude to a high single-digit GMV growth in 2024. We expect the combination of government trade-in subsidies and 11.11 discounts to stimulate consumer demand, particularly with home appliances and 3C digital products taking the spotlight. We anticipate stabilised competition between traditional and livestreaming e-commerce with a strong emphasis on shelf-based e-commerce. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.

The key concerns of investors include the sustainability of the recent rally and potential fundamental changes upon policy rollout. We think a valuation repair is underway with the upcoming 11.11 campaign and 3Q/4Q24 results release as a critical juncture. Investors are also becoming increasingly optimistic on mega-cap names such as Tencent, Meituan, Alibaba and JD in view of a favourable regulatory backdrop and stabilised competitive environment. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
In view of a stronger-than-expected government policy rollout, we reckon that the improved consumption sentiment will benefit e-commerce, local life services and OTA companies. In 2H24, we expect the undemanding valuations of internet companies to be repaired by shareholder returns, cross-border expansion and easing competition. Meanwhile, we believe monetisation momentum will be fuelled by AIGC development and adtech upgrades. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.

2Q24 revenue growth was lukewarm, hampered by a subdued macro backdrop, but most earnings beats were delivered by internet companies. We expect consumers to continue switching to service- and experience-oriented, which will benefit OTA, local life services and online games amid the summer holiday period. Key catalysts in 2H24 that will drive internet companies’ valuation repair include shareholder returns, cross-border expansion, easing competition and more, in our view. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.

What’s new: PDD’s reported 2Q24 revs that were below consensus and our expectations. PDD will invest substantial resources to support high-quality merchants on the platform which includes a transaction fee reduction – totaling to RMB10bn in the first year. We lower our PT from USD170 to USD150 due to lowered outlook. Our updated PT of USD150 implies a 9.8x FY25E P/E. We maintain our BUY rating. Analysts: Jin Yoon
PDD delivered an earnings beat in 2Q24. Revenue surged 86% yoy to Rmb97.1b, below our and consensus estimates by 2-3%, and dampened by soft ad revenue growth. Non- GAAP net profit came in at Rmb34.4b, 14% above consensus estimate which translated to a non-GAAP net margin of 35.5%. Looking ahead, PDD believes revenue growth will be hampered by intense competition and macro challenges while profitability will be pressured by higher investment. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of US$185.00.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS Strategy Cross Currents In our base case, we expect the MSCI China index to range trade for the rest of 2024 due to uncertainties over the duration of economic adjustment. Upside risk comes from the start of the Fed’s easing cycle as it opens the way for further monetary easing in China. However, this should be complemented by demand-side policies for greater impact. In the meantime, we utilise a barbell strategy, preferring TMT, tech hardware and defensives like financials, c...
