PPD stock fell for a second day Tuesday after the firm posted earnings Monday, which sent the stock $PDD Holdings (PDD.US)$ reeling 28%. The retail firm reported a bleak outlook and even said the firm's high revenue growth and profit are at an end. On the news, options contracts on the underlying stock flew, sending the stock to sixth place in the entire market for options contract trading volume on Tuesday.
"We are facing increasingly fierce competition. Competition has arrived and is expected to intensify in our industry," Co-CEO Chen Lei said on the Monday earnings call with analysts after the results. "As shown by this quarter's results, high revenue growth is unsustainable, and a downward trend in profitability is inevitable. Finally, I believe the environment will evolve, and our company will continue to grow."
The firm missed posting a Q2 revenue of 97.1 billion yuan ($13.6 billion), below the average estimate of 100 billion yuan, and a net income of 32 billion yuan, surpassing the projected 27.5 billion yuan.
Traders swapped 308k contracts, and a couple stood out for their high volume. The $100 Call contract expiring Friday saw the most volume, at 23k changing hands Tuesday. The contract gives holders the right to buy PDD at $100 a share for the price of 0.78C/share for 100 shares. The contract has fallen 71% in value after the underlying fall.
