PDD Holdings: All I Want for Christmas
Why This Stock Could Be One of Your Best Gifts in 2024
As the holidays approach, savvy investors search for the best opportunities to grow their portfolios. PDD Holdings stands out with its affordable shares and strong growth potential. We first discussed PDD stock in September and were initially concerned that PDD wasn’t buying back its shares like BABA. However, recent developments show that PDD’s focus on expanding its business could create even more value. Let’s explore why PDD Holdings should be a key part of your investment portfolio this year.
To begin, here’s a chart of the stock, courtesy of Yahoo Finance:
Next, let’s revisit PDD’s valuation, as detailed by finviz.com:
The company trades at around 99 USD/share with a book value 28.58. Moreover, the forward P/E ratio is 7.60, while 3-5 year earnings growth is expected to average 21.17% a year.
The current PEG ratio is slated at 0.46, but if we use the forward PEG ratio, we will get a reading of 0.36 (7.6/21.17). This is an exceptionally low PEG ratio.
Impressive Growth Trajectory
PDD Holdings owns and operates the online retailer Temu, which has achieved remarkable growth. In 2024 alone, Temu’s sales surged by nearly 85%, and earnings skyrocketed by 123%.
Even more impressive, Amazon ($AMZN) is altering its business strategy to better compete with Temu. This strategic shift forces AMZN into new territory, compelling them to cut prices in ways we’ve never seen before.
Strong Analyst Endorsements
Data from seekingalpha.com shows that stock analysts widely endorse PDD Holdings. What are the projected price targets?
The average price target for PDD is nearly 150 USD/share, or more than 50% upside from current prices of around 99 USD/share. In our opinion, this is an exceptionally conservative target. PDD is one of the few stocks at present that could go up 100% in price and still be significantly undervalued.
Yes, PDD is exceptionally cheap, so cheap that it is Christmas wish this year. All we want for Christmas is PDD stock.
