PDD Holdings: Still A Buy Despite The Tariff Storm

  • I reiterate my buy rating on PDD, despite recent underperformance and a challenging Q1, due to its low valuation and strong free cash flow yield. PDD faces headwinds from tariffs, the loss of the de minimis exemption, and increased competition, but profitability remains robust and EPS growth is expected in 2026. Valuation remains attractive: even with reduced EPS estimates, PDD trades at a low multiple, making it cheap relative to peers and its own fundamentals.
