Factors to Note

The company’s strength across the e-commerce business is likely to have contributed significantly to the second-quarter performance.

Pinduoduo’s strengthening efforts toward the integration of online traffic with offline retail experiences are likely to get reflected in the second-quarter results.

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

Increasing advertising demand from merchants on PDD’s platform is anticipated to have benefited the company in the to-be-reported quarter.

Apart from this, the company’s well-performing Duo Duo Grocery service is likely to have contributed well.

However, sluggishness in the company’s merchandise sales is likely to have hurt top-line growth in the second quarter.

Escalating pandemic-induced costs are anticipated to have negatively impacted the margin expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.

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