Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>We believe it was a wise move for PDD to launch the overseas online marketplace TEMU first off the U.S., because of its massive, lucrative and integrated retail markets.</li>
<li>Still, the adventure lacks some of the recipe for successes PDD made during its early days, and the failure of Wish suggests pricing not come at the expense of quality.</li>
<li>We expect TEMU to lose US$2bn in 2024 (1/3 of PDD’s FY22 earnings) and won’t generate meaningful profit probably until 2026, reinforcing our view on PDD’s near-term earnings risk.</li>
