PDD Holdings Good Business, Cheap Price, Unquantifiable Risk
PDD (overview): Good biz at 5.8x EV/FCF, 70% ROIC, $59.5B cash ($40.87/share = 39% of price). Pinduoduo's C2M model + 880M users = genuine moat. Temu hit by US de minimis end & 145% tariffs, rev growth 59%→9% but profitability expanding. Trading <6x FCF ex-cash vs 25x for Amazon. Risks: VIE structure, CCP crackdown (Jan 2026 investigations), trapped China cash, Temu collapse, Douyin competition. DCF suggests $120-240 fair value; market prices 2% perpetual growth = max pessimism. Quality clear, geopolitical risk unquantifiable.
