JD.com Faces Challenges: JD.com is struggling to maintain its relevance in a stagnant Chinese e-commerce market, especially after Walmart sold its $3.74 billion stake, leading to a 10% drop in share price and raising concerns about JD's ability to compete against rivals like Alibaba and PDD Holdings.
Strategic Adjustments: To counteract slowing growth, JD.com is shifting its strategy by incorporating third-party merchants and optimizing its supply chain for competitive pricing, although analysts express skepticism about the effectiveness of these measures in driving significant revenue growth.
Analyst Views on PDD
Wall Street analysts forecast PDD stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for PDD is 146.39 USD with a low forecast of 118.00 USD and a high forecast of 167.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
