Tao Value fund posted a return of 1.26% in the third quarter of 2019, underperforming the S&P 500 Index which returned 1.87% in the same quarter. Let’s take a look at comments made by Tao Value about Pinduoduo Inc. (NASDAQ:PDD) in the Q3 2019 investor letter.
“PDD was a relatively new position since last year (refer to our 2018 Q3 letter for detailed thesis: [Link] 1 ). PDD returned +56% over this past quarter, helped by the very positive earnings surprise. In its announced Q2 18 results, PDD booked +169% YoY revenue growth, +171% YoY GMV growth, 41% YoY active buyer growth & a +98% annual spending by active buyer, all beating street’s estimate by big margin. However, it was no surprise to us as our evaluation has concluded that PDD highly possibly stood a chance to compete with the incumbents. Now that the question changes from “whether” PDD can compete to “how” it competes, it may become a fiercer battle. But given its superior mission & vision, we can be patient with its exploration in other adjacent playfields. I am particularly intrigued to seeing the development in their brand cultivating (C2M) & logistics initiatives.”
