According to the company's earnings report, PDD Holdings' revenue for the quarter ended June 2025 was 103.98 billion yuan ($14.53 billion), representing a 7% increase year-over-year. This figure surpassed analysts' expectations of 103.34 billion yuan, as compiled by LSEG [1]. The company's performance was driven by a rebound in domestic demand and improved growth in its international business, despite global trade uncertainties.

The stock price of PDD Holdings has been volatile in recent months. On August 25, 2025, the company's stock rose by 2.57% in pre-market trading, driven by anticipation of its Q2 earnings report.

This institutional backing has contributed to the positive outlook for the stock.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), another major player in the tech sector, reported its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings on August 25, 2025. The networking giant reported revenue of $14.7 billion, an 8% year-over-year increase, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.99, surpassing analyst estimates.
