China Looks Cheap—but It Has Burned Investors Before

Updated Dec. 26, 2023 12:04 am ETThe smartest strategy for investors in Chinese assets this year: Do something else.Sitting on cash was more profitable in 2023 than investing in Chinese shares, buying bonds sold by Chinese companies or betting on the performance of the yuan, the country’s currency.

The Rise of Temu’s Chinese Parent Will Reshape E-Commerce

Updated Dec. 5, 2023 12:06 am ETMove over, Alibaba. There’s a new online-shopping champion in China: PDD, the company behind discount-retailing app Temu, is now the country’s most valuable e-commerce company.After a 78% rise this year, PDD’s market value has hit $193 billion, snatching the crown from Alibaba. Though PDD’s revenue last quarter was still less than a third of Alibaba’s, it’s growing much faster. Revenue for the three months ended in September surged 94% from a year earlier—Alibaba’s only grew 9%. That breakneck growth means the market is willing to assign a much higher multiple to PDD stock: It trades at 34 times earnings compared with 11 times for Alibaba, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
