PDD Holdings reported total revenues of RMB 123.9 billion, up 12% year-over-year, as revenue growth accelerated from Q3. Transaction services revenue momentum drove the improvement, though online marketing services growth slowed. Net income declined despite the revenue growth, with non-GAAP operating margin at 24% compared to 25% a year earlier. Global regulatory scrutiny and trade policy risk remained significant headwinds. The company continued deep supply chain investment and expanded free delivery to villages infrastructure.
