Pinduoduo Inc. Sponsored ADR (PDD) Surges 6.9%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?

Pinduoduo extended its rally, driven by a strong momentum across its online marketing and transaction services. Further, increasing advertising demand from merchants on PDD’s platform has been a tailwind. Also, the company’s well-performing Duo Duo Grocery service has been driving Pinduoduo’s customer momentum.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.74 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +117.7%. Revenues are expected to be $4.49 billion, up 34.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Pinduoduo Inc. Sponsored ADR, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
