On September 8, PDD Holdings Inc fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $79.69/share, with turnover of $232 million, extending the stock's decline since its Q2 earnings release.
On the earnings front, PDD Holdings reported Q2 revenue of RMB 112.4 billion, up 8% year-over-year but missing the consensus estimate of RMB 115.09 billion. Net income fell 12% to RMB 27.2 billion, marking the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year profit decline. Management acknowledged that cross-border orders in affected markets face lower fulfillment efficiency and rising costs, while private-label brand initiatives are progressing slower than expected.
Adding to the bearish sentiment, the options market has seen notable large-block bearish activity in recent sessions, including a $1.6 million purchase of December 85-strike puts totaling 2,898 contracts and a synthetic put structure selling 90 calls while buying 85 puts, signaling institutional caution on the medium-to-long-term outlook. Despite three major investment banks maintaining Buy ratings and citing long-term supply chain investments as building competitive moats, near-term profit headwinds and options-market positioning continue to weigh on the stock.
