Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley take a deep dive into Pinduoduo (NASDAQ: PDD),
the Chinese retail giant that has overtaken local competitors like Alibaba and
JD.com [http://jd.com] and expanded internationally with Temu, which has become
the most-downloaded e-commerce app in the world. They discuss how to think about
the lack of disclosures and what the margin decline and growth deceleration mean
for the business going forward. But also whether this presents an exceptional
buying opportunity at a single-digit earnings multiple and about 60% of the
company’s market capitalization in cash.
