SEC filingMD&A focuses on related party transactions with Tencent and Shanghai Fufeitong, with no financial performance discussion.
PDD Holdings is a multinational commerce group that owns and operates a portfolio of businesses, including the Pinduoduo and Temu platforms. The company aims to bring more businesses and people into the digital economy so that local communities and small businesses can benefit from increased productivity and new opportunities. The company generates revenue primarily from transaction services and online marketing services provided to third-party merchants. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, substantially all of its revenues were derived from third-party merchants in China.
Pinduoduo is a platform that provides buyers with a comprehensive selection of value-for-money merchandise and fun, interactive shopping experiences. It pioneered an innovative “team purchase” model, encouraging buyers to share product information on social networks and form shopping teams to enjoy more attractive prices. Pinduoduo also focuses on agriculture, leveraging the platform to promote digital inclusion of smallholder farmers by aggregating demand, creating economies of scale, and offering training programs and investments in technology for food production and safety.
Temu was founded in September 2022 in Boston, Massachusetts, and launched initially in North America. It expanded to Oceania in March 2023, Europe in April 2023, and other regions. As of the end of 2025, Temu serves consumers in various countries, including the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Italy. Temu aspires to become a global online platform dedicated to providing quality products at attractive prices, partnering with a global network of logistics vendors and fulfillment partners.
Both platforms enable merchants to provide product listings for buyers to conveniently browse and order. Pinduoduo relies on social network sharing to drive organic traffic and engagement, while Temu leverages a global logistics network. The platforms help merchants streamline manufacturing and operations to achieve competitive prices and reduce waste. Despite different geographic coverage, both platforms share the same value propositions and operational model. Currently, both primarily serve merchants in China, assisting them in reaching consumers and growing sales.
The company’s strategic priorities include expanding digital inclusion, particularly for agricultural communities; growing the global footprint of Temu; and continuously enhancing the shopping experience through fun, interactive features and competitive pricing. The company also focuses on forming a virtuous cycle where buyer base attracts merchants, and scale encourages competitive pricing and customized services.
