PDD's revenue surges due to online marketing services and transaction services
PDD's 2Q revenue boost from Temu's new partial-consignment services in nine countries from March, which helped attract more selling merchants and shoppers with speedier deliveries beyond China, likely lifted the firm's total receipts to consensus estimates of a 91% year-over-year increase according to Bloomberg.
According to Bloomberg analysts, this would have surpassed the revenue growth of $Alibaba (BABA.US)$'s comparable international digital commerce (AIDC), Cainiao and Taobao-Tmall units, undermining the effectiveness of Alibaba's enlarged marketing spend to snatch market share from PDD. Meanwhile, this also surpasses the revenue growth of e-commerce giant $JD.com (JD.US)$'s JD Retail and JD Logistics units.
Besides, PDD's new revenue contribution from more profitable partial consignment services likely lifted 2Q adjusted operating margin for the second straight quarter. As more merchants lean on Temu to sell globally, revenue contribution from transaction services could hit new highs in 2024.
