Factors to Note

Pinduoduo’s strength across the e-commerce business is likely to have contributed significantly to its third-quarter performance.

A strong momentum across its online marketing services and growing merchandise sales are expected to have continued driving top-line growth in the quarter under review.

Additionally, an improving scenario in the agriculture sector is expected to have remained a major tailwind during the to-be-reported quarter.

A growing momentum across PDD’s Duo Duo Grocery service is likely to have contributed well.

Pinduoduo’s strengthening efforts toward integrating online traffic with offline retail experiences are likely to have benefited the third-quarter results.

Increasing advertising demand from merchants on PDD’s platform is anticipated to have continued benefiting its performance in the quarter under review.

However, accelerating costs related to the coronavirus pandemic are anticipated to have negatively impacted the margin expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.

Moreover, increasing payment processing fees, and higher costs for cloud services and expenses associated with online marketing services, are expected to have been concerning.
