PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PDD) shares are trading higher after multiple analysts raised their price targets on the stock following the company's first-quarter results.
On Thursday, PDD reported fiscal first-quarter 2024 revenue growth of 131% year-on-year to $12.02 billion (86.81 billion Chinese yuan), beating the analyst consensus of $10.65 billion.
The Chinese online retailer's adjusted earnings per ADS of $2.83 (CNY20.72) increased from CNY6.92 Y/Y, beating the analyst consensus of $1.42.
Benchmark analyst Fawne Jiang maintained PDD Holdings with a Buy and raised the price target from $220 to $230.
Jiang said PDD reported another blowout quarter, with revenue more than doubled and profit almost tripled year over year, substantially beating consensus expectations.
The robust growth was bolstered by sustained high growth in the domestic marketplace and robust expansion of Temu internationally.
More importantly, despite the strong GMV growth, Temu's loss came down substantially, and its loss ratio narrowed notably to single digits. The analyst said this validates the business model's viability and signifies the substantial operating leverage the business promises.
Jiang continues to view PDD as a standout growth stock in China's ADR.
The analyst expects Temu to continue to deliver robust growth in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, driven by continued new market openings, increasing penetration of opened markets, especially in Europe and the newly opened Asian markets, and rising adoption of the hybrid model leveraging existing local inventories.
Jiang raised his fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 revenue estimates to CNY438 billion (from CNY380 billion prior) and CNY575 billion (from CNY500 billion prior).
The analyst also raised his fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 adjusted EPADS estimates to $10.48 and $13.26, respectively.
Goldman Sachs analyst Ronald Keung reiterated a Neutral rating on PDD Holdings with a price target of $145.
PDD reported a strong print with a first-quarter top line at 3% above Keung's expectations and adjusted group operating profit beat at CNY28.6 billion, +237% Y/Y, which came above its largest peer, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) EBITA of CNY24 billion over the same period.
However, the share price reaction was muted, likely due to already elevated buy-side expectations and investor questions on the sustainability of its first-quarter profitability, driven by better domestic Pinduoduo profitability, investor concerns on Pinduoduo's significant online marketing services take rate uplift, and PDD management comments on the results call that they expect quarterly P&L fluctuations as likely.
Price Action: PDD shares traded higher by 5.51% at $155.17 at the last check Thursday.
PDD Holdings Inc(納斯達克股票代碼:PDD)股價走高,此前多位分析師在該公司公佈第一季度業績後提高了該股的目標股價。
週四,PDD報告稱,2024財年第一季度收入同比增長131%,達到120.2億美元(868.1億元人民幣),超過了分析師共識的106.5億美元。
這家中國在線零售商調整後的每股ADS收益爲2.83美元(人民幣20.72元),高於分析師共識的1.42美元,高於分析師共識的1.42美元。
基準分析師Fawne Jiang維持PDD Holdings的買入,並將目標股價從220美元上調至230美元。
姜說,PDD報告了又一個井噴季度,收入翻了一番多,利潤同比增長了近三倍,大大超過了市場預期。
國內市場的持續高增長和Temu在國際上的強勁擴張推動了強勁的增長。
更重要的是,儘管GMV增長強勁,但Temu的虧損卻大幅下降,其虧損率明顯縮小至個位數。這位分析師表示,這驗證了該商業模式的可行性,也表明了該業務承諾的巨大運營槓桿作用。
Jiang繼續將PDD視爲中國ADR中突出的成長股。
該分析師預計,Temu將在2024財年和2025財年繼續實現強勁增長,這得益於新市場的持續開放,開放市場的滲透率的提高,尤其是歐洲和新開放的亞洲市場的滲透率,以及越來越多地採用利用現有本地庫存的混合模式。
Jiang將他的 2024 財年和 2025 財年的收入估計從之前的 CNY380 億美元上調至 CNY438 億美元(從之前的 CNY500 億美元)和 CNY575 億美元(從之前的億美元)。
該分析師還將他在2024財年和2025財年調整後的EPADS估計值分別上調至10.48美元和13.26美元。
高盛分析師羅納德·強重申了對PDD Holdings的中性評級,目標股價爲145美元。
PDD報告表現強勁,第一季度收入比強的預期高出3%,調整後的集團營業利潤超過286億元人民幣,同比增長237%,高於同期最大的同行阿里巴巴集團控股有限公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:BABA)息稅折舊攤銷前利潤 CNY24 億美元。
但是,股價反應平淡,可能是由於買方預期已經升高,以及投資者對其第一季度盈利能力可持續性的質疑,這得益於國內拼多多盈利能力的改善、投資者對拼多多重大在線營銷服務利率上調的擔憂,以及PDD管理層對業績的評論稱,他們預計季度損益可能會出現波動。
價格走勢:在週四的最後一次支票中,PDD股價上漲5.51%,至155.17美元。
