PDD 1Q25 Results: Revs and Profitability to Face Pressure in the Near ...
What’s new: PDD’s reported 1Q25 results that were below consensus and our expectations. PDD noted that profitability is likely to face challenges in the near-term and potentially over a longer period partly due to continued merchant support amid a challenging environment in both domestic and overseas markets. We lower our PT from US$150 to USD$120 on lowered outlook. Our updated PT of US$120 implies a 16.0x FY25E P/E. We maintain our BUY rating. Analysts: Jin Yoon

PDD’s 1Q25 results missed expectations. Revenue increased 10% yoy to Rmb95.7b, missing consensus estimate by 6%, dampened by sluggish commission revenue growth. Non-GAAP net profit slumped 45% yoy to Rmb16.9b, 39% below consensus estimate. Non-GAAP net margin shrank 18ppt to 17.7%. Looking ahead, PDD expects its top-line growth and profitability to continue being hampered by its merchant support strategy. Downgrade to SELL with a lower target price of US$90.00.

China Internet: Navigating headwinds and uncovering opportunities upon...
Chinese internet companies’ share prices have dropped 10-30% mtd following the implementation of incremental tariffs from the US. Chinese internet companies have limited business exposure to the US except for PDD’s Temu. However, the 34% tariffs announced by China on all US imports could have potential implications for China mega-caps’ AI capex in relation to US chip imports. We prefer domestic-focused plays which stand to benefit from domestic policy stimuli, with Southbound inflow to be a key ...

PDD’s 4Q24 results were below expectations. Revenue increased 24% yoy to Rmb110.6b, missing consensus estimates by 5%, dampened by softer-than-expected online ad revenue growth. Non-GAAP net profit grew 17% yoy to Rmb29.9b, 4% above consensus estimate. Non-GAAP net margin shrank 2ppt to 27%. 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. Target price: US$140.00.

China Internet: Potential implications of de minimis tax exemption.
On 5 February, the USPS temporarily suspended the receipt of parcels from mainland China and Hong Kong. However, on 7 February, Trump signed an order delaying the cancellation of the de minimis trade exemption. We think PDD’s valuation will be partially overshadowed by the potential tariff pressures on Temu but supported by ongoing strategic mitigation efforts. As such, we believe that the uncertainties in policy changes will remain as the key concern throughout 2025.
