What PDD Holdings Inc. Sponsored ADR does

Chinese e-commerce company operating Pinduoduo (group-buying marketplace) and Temu, its global discount shopping app.

Earns mostly from advertising and commissions paid by merchants for visibility on its marketplaces, who bid for placement. Temu sources goods from Chinese factories and ships them to buyers abroad, and its low-value parcels relied on a US duty exemption that the US ended for Chinese goods in 2025.

In one line: China's Costco-meets-Groupon, plus a global Temu/Shein rival.
