PDD Holdings reported second-quarter revenue of RMB112.4 billion, up 8% year over year but below the RMB116.35 billion consensus estimate, while GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders declined 12% to RMB27.2 billion. Total operating expenses rose 13% to RMB36.6 billion, with sales and marketing expenses up 9% to RMB29.7 billion, research and development expenses up 27% to RMB4.6 billion, and general and administrative expenses up 53% to RMB2.3 billion. Company-defined non-GAAP diluted earnings were RMB19.33 per American depositary share, exceeding consensus but down 12.4% from RMB22.07 a year earlier. Despite the earnings decline, GAAP operating profit increased 8% to RMB27.8 billion with a stable operating margin of approximately 24.7%, and operating cash flow rose 19% to RMB25.7 billion. Transaction-services revenue grew 13% to RMB54.7 billion, but online marketing services and other revenue increased only 3.5% to RMB57.6 billion, and overall revenue growth slowed from 11% in the first quarter to 8% in the second quarter. The company's heavier spending on merchants, technology, and ecosystem governance has not yet produced a clear acceleration in growth, and management does not separately disclose the revenue or returns from those programs.
