Analyst Bullish On Temu's Potential, David Tepper Loading Up PDD Stock
Recent news has provided additional support for PDD's bullish technical indicators.
UBS has raised its price target for Pinduoduo shares from $217 to $248, maintaining a Buy rating. This optimism is driven by the market potential of Temu, Pinduoduo's overseas platform targeting low-income consumers. UBS believes that the market may be underestimating Temu's geopolitical risks and its potential for significant market expansion, which could result in higher margins due to its managed e-commerce model.
