  • PDD Holdings, which operates e-commerce platforms Pinduoduo and Temu, missed market estimates for quarterly revenue on Thursday, as demand remained weak in China despite deep discounts and government stimulus to boost spending.

The article from MSN discusses the financial performance of PDD Holdings, the parent company of Temu, a rapidly growing e-commerce platform. PDD Holdings reported a significant revenue increase of 66% to $9.4 billion in the third quarter, driven by strong growth in its domestic market through its Pinduoduo app. However, this growth was tempered by challenges in international markets, where Temu has been expanding. The company faced intense competition in China from rivals like Alibaba and JD.com, and abroad, it encountered issues such as regulatory scrutiny, logistical challenges, and the need to adapt to different consumer behaviors. Despite these hurdles, PDD Holdings remains optimistic about its global strategy, focusing on enhancing its supply chain and marketing efforts to capture more market share internationally.
