Chinese Retail Power Grab (PDD)

Posted on November 1, 2023

The Chinese, it’s widely understood, have a patient, long-term plan to conquer the planet.

Part of that playbook involves dominating the online shopping world, and PDD Holdings (NASDAQ:PDD) is one of the key players in that strategy.

Sure, the outfit is headquartered in Dublin—after all, who would suspect the Irish?

But it’s a nefarious commercial enterprise all the same, siphoning your hard-earned cash on purchases of third-rate quality, made by Uyghur slaves in the western Chinese hinterland and shipped internationally.

The fundamental breakdown on the company is as follows—

  • P/E is 25.10, but analysts expect that metric to shrink to just 16.58 by this time next year—a one third lop off the top of her head.
  • There’s no Dividend.
  • Price to Book is a porky 6.79.

Beyond that, it’s difficult to figure where new earnings are going to come from.

Now the daily chart—

May the armies of the Living G-d triumph!

Many happy returns!
