Research reports

DBS Bank (Hong Kong) – DBS Group Research · May 29, 2026PDD Holdings – Uncertainties persist

DBS maintains a HOLD rating on PDD with a reduced target price of USD 117.10, emphasizing that ongoing ecosystem investments, regulatory risks around Temu, and earnings volatility cloud visibility despite PDD’s strong cash generation and leadership in value-focused e-commerce. The report highlights that Temu’s profitability trajectory and geopolitical headwinds are likely to keep near-term catalysts limited, so investors should expect continued share-price choppiness even as longer-term structural advantages remain intact.

CMB International Global Markets (CMBIGM) · May 28, 2026PDD Holdings (PDD US) – Investing to enhance supply chain capabilities

CMBI reiterates its BUY rating with a SOTP-based target price of USD 154.80, arguing that PDD’s intensified investment in supply chain capabilities, platform ecosystem, and Temu supports long-term competitiveness even though 2026E revenue and non-GAAP net profit forecasts are trimmed to reflect heavier merchant support and higher overseas spending. The analysts view the stock’s roughly 8x 2026E P/E multiple and very large cash and short-term investment balance as making the current valuation undemanding, with Temu’s growth and eventual margin improvement expected to drive attractive upside.

CMB International Global Markets (CMBIGM) · March 26, 2026PDD Holdings (PDD US) – Earnings recovery in sight despite ongoing investment phase

This CMBI company update maintains a BUY rating and lifts the SOTP-based target price to USD 161.70, contending that after a 2025 year in which revenue grew 10% but non-GAAP net profit fell 12% due to ecosystem investments, earnings should recover in 2026 as Temu losses narrow and the core China marketplace delivers mid-teens profit growth. The report stresses that PDD’s substantial cash, restricted cash, and short-term investment pile of roughly RMB 496 billion, together with an 8x 2026E non-GAAP P/E, creates an attractive risk-reward profile even as management continues to prioritize long-term ecosystem and supply chain development.

Ultra Stock Analysis Pro · March 20, 2026PDD Holdings Inc. (PDD) – Comprehensive Analyst Report

Ultra Stock Analysis Pro’s report assigns a HOLD rating based on a backtested strategy that shows only a 20% win rate but very high average returns per winning trade, combined with current technical indicators that are broadly bearish and a risk/reward profile they describe as neutral despite roughly 54% upside to the street’s consensus target of USD 148.46. Fundamentally, the report highlights low forward valuation multiples (around 7.7x forward P/E and 0.33x price-to-sales), strong profitability and cash generation, and predominantly bullish sell-side consensus (28 Buys, 13 Holds, 0 Sells), but tempers this with concerns about weak trend strength, oversold momentum, and elevated volatility that argue for patience and strict risk management rather than aggressive accumulation.
