PDD: Cheap, But Regulatory Risk Makes The Discount Deserved

Summary PDD Holdings is fundamentally cheap, highly profitable, and maintains a real competitive edge in lower-end Chinese retail. With growing regulatory scrutiny both in China and internationally over food and product safety and PDD's compliance record, I believe a meaningful discount is warranted. PDD received the harshest penalty in China's “ghost takeout” crackdown, with regulators specifically citing false information and repeated obstruction during the investigation. The financial impact of the penalty is minor, but ongoing regulatory scrutiny, reputation risks, and general uncertainty now weigh heavily on the investment thesis and PDD's rerating potential. At this valuation I cannot justify rating PDD a Sell, but I would avoid initiating new positions until PDD demonstrates materially better regulatory cooperation and compliance; I rate PDD a hold.

eBay Earnings Review: Still Not Liking The Valuation

Summary eBay Inc. delivered solid earnings and revenue beats, but weak forward profit guidance tempers enthusiasm and supports my Hold rating. Current valuation appears stretched, requiring 17% annual FCF growth to justify the price; a pullback would make EBAY more attractive. Focus categories—collectibles, automobiles, clothing—and C2C sales are outperforming, with GMV in these segments up 26% and 20% YOY, respectively. Recommerce and AI-driven listing technology are driving platform engagement, positioning EBAY well for inflationary and used-goods tailwinds. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

OLLI: Tariff Refunds And Buybacks Are Expected To Support Future Upside

The analyst fair value estimate for Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings has been reduced from $157.00 to $135.00 as analysts factor in softer Q2 trends, lower same-store sales expectations, and a reset in valuation multiples, while maintaining confidence in the company’s long-term model and balance sheet strength. Analyst Commentary Recent Street research on Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings shows a clear reset in expectations for Q2 and the near term, but it also highlights several areas where analysts still see support for the long-term equity story.
