Temu Parent PDD Stock Free Falls After Hitting Death Cross: Time To Bail Out?

Author: Surbhi Jain | August 30, 2024 11:32am

PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PDD) stock is flapping its wings wildly after hitting a Death Cross on the charts.

The stock, down 33.62% year-to-date and -21.50% over the past month, just crossed that ominous technical threshold where the short-term moving average dips below the long-term average. Translation? The bearish clouds are thickening.

Temu Trouble & Tumbling Stocks

PDD Holdings, the parent company of Temu, is feeling the heat. Temu’s low-priced lure is creating headaches for rivals like Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), but is Temu's pricing strategy too good to be true?

With margins tight and costs rising, the sustainability of those rock-bottom prices is in question. The legal spat with Shein over Temu's profitability adds to the uncertainty.

In a surprise twist, PDD’s recent earnings report shocked investors, causing the stock to plummet. Despite a staggering 86% revenue growth year-over-year, the company’s revenue missed the mark, falling short of the 100 billion yuan (approx. $14.11 billion) target.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is flashing bearish signals, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 27.99 suggests the stock is oversold.

Investors should brace for turbulence as PDD's chart signals continued bearishness. While the stock is currently experiencing slight buying pressure, the overall trend suggests that it might be best to steer clear of PDD until the skies clear.
