Temu Trouble & Tumbling Stocks

PDD Holdings, the parent company of Temu, is feeling the heat. Temu’s low-priced lure is creating headaches for rivals like Amazon.com Inc AMZN, but is Temu's pricing strategy too good to be true?

With margins tight and costs rising, the sustainability of those rock-bottom prices is in question. The legal spat with Shein over Temu's profitability adds to the uncertainty.

In a surprise twist, PDD’s recent earnings report shocked investors, causing the stock to plummet. Despite a staggering 86% revenue growth year-over-year, the company’s revenue missed the mark, falling short of the 100 billion yuan (approx. $14.11 billion) target.
