On November 18th, before the U.S. stock market opened, $PDD(PDD.US) announced its Q3 2025 earnings. At that time, few could predict the results, and the once 'forever young' Pinduoduo now seems to have entered a mature phase from various perspectives. This quarter's performance is mixed; the positive aspect is that after the impact of state subsidies waned, the main site's profit began to recover. The concern, however, is that Pinduoduo seems to have completely lost its previously most striking 'growth potential.' Specifically: 1. Revenue appears decent but is actually not: Pinduoduo's total revenue for this quarter was approximately RMB 108.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 9%...

Pinduoduo's Embarrassment: Rapid 'Aging,' Yet No Repurchase

Pinduoduo 3Q25 Quick Interpretation: The performance of Pinduoduo, which was once unpredictable with its stock price often experiencing sharp rises and falls, has now become increasingly stable and &#34;predictable.&#34; This quarter's performance is largely in line with expectations, with both positives and negatives. 1. Firstly, this quarter's total revenue grew by 9% year-on-year, slightly outperforming the market expectation of 8.3%. Although the trend seems to have accelerated quarter-on-quarter, the more critical advertising revenue growth rate has further slowed significantly to a single-digit 8% year-on-year. The implied signal here is that either the GMV growth rate of Pinduoduo's main site is slowing faster than expected, or the merchant support program has led to a further year-on-year decline in monetization rate. Dolphin Research has always held the view that the growth of Pinduoduo's domestic main site will return to the industry average. However, since the benefits of state subsidies have started to decline this quarter, the market might expect Pinduoduo's relative disadvantage to be alleviated. It seems that JD.com, Alibaba, and others have attracted some of Pinduoduo's users with massive food delivery subsidies, leading to increased active users and frequency of use. 2. As the impact of tariffs on Temu has largely dissipated, the U.S. business has returned to normal operations, and other regional businesses are expanding rapidly. Driven by this, the growth rate of transactional revenue has rebounded to 10%, slightly exceeding Bloomberg's consensus expectations, and is also the reason for the rebound in total revenue growth. However, compared to more optimistic expectations from Goldman Sachs (around 59 billion), it seems that Temu's growth is not as strong. 3. This quarter's gross profit performance is basically in line with expectations, continuing to decline due to the impact of the revenue structure. The expectation gap comes from marketing expenses being about 2.6 billion less than expected, thereby leading to operating profit exceeding expectations by approximately the same scale. Dolphin Research believes that the main reason is that as the impact of state subsidies declines, the need for self-subsidized spending has also decreased. Meanwhile, the increase in Temu's marketing expenses may not be as much as imagined. $PDD(PDD.US) $KraneShares 2x Long PDD Daily ETF(KPDD.US)

1118 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro 1. Today, both Hong Kong and A-shares collectively declined as the market's expectation for a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve continued to decrease. According to CME's &#34;FedWatch&#34;, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has dropped to 42.9%, previously exceeding 70%. Federal Reserve Governor Waller also stated that if the job market rebounds, the necessity for an insurance rate cut will diminish. Additionally, the sell-off pressure on tech stocks and the Japanese bond market faced a sell-off wave due to concerns that the Kishida government will implement a large-scale fiscal expansion plan. Under multiple factors, global markets collectively declined...

Hot topic

Dolphin Research previously mentioned that although $PDD(PDD.US) has consistently emphasized no dividends or buybacks, any company that transitions from its growth phase to its maturity phase must address a core question: how to utilize the accumulated cash assets? This quarter, Pinduoduo's interest and investment income directly reached the level of 10 billion yuan (mainly from interest and stock investment income), which is already a significant presence compared to the 25.8 billion yuan operating profit from its main business for the quarter. Of course, from the perspective of quarterly volatility, the average single-quarter level is still around 5.3 billion yuan, not much different from the level of each quarter last year...

Earning billions in a single quarter from financial management! Is Pinduoduo aiming to be the next 'Buffett' by 'refusing to distribute dividends'?

The following are the minutes of Pinduoduo's FY25Q2 earnings call organized by Dolphin Research. For earnings interpretation, please refer to $PDD(PDD.US) &#34;Pinduoduo: Back to the Money Tree?

Pinduoduo (Minutes): Once again, they have cut themselves!

$PDD(PDD.US) once again experienced familiar post-earnings volatility. On August 25th, before the U.S. stock market opened, Pinduoduo announced its second-quarter earnings, with profits significantly exceeding expectations, briefly driving the stock price up by 10%. But how substantial is this earnings surprise? 1. Revenue met expectations exactly, with no surprises: After two consecutive quarters of revenue significantly missing expectations, Pinduoduo's total revenue for this quarter was approximately RMB 104 billion, a year-on-year increase of 7%. Although the growth rate continued to slow, it was almost perfectly in line with market expectations. This was mainly due to Temu being affected by tariffs...
