TIVP084 (Video): Pinduoduo (PDD): Is PDD the Best Buy in China? w/ Daniel Mahncke & Shawn O'Malley

Episode 701 Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description

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 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.

Daniel and Shawn also discuss how the Chinese e-commerce market compares to international equivalents and what those differences mean for the profitability of the e-commerce model in general. In the end, Daniel values the business and decides whether PDD deserves a spot in The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.
