(Reuters) – China’s Pinduoduo Inc beat first-quarter revenue estimates on Friday, as more people shopped at its e-commerce platform during coronavirus lockdowns that shut down most brick and mortar shops.
The e-commerce company known for its deep discounts, said revenue rose 44% to 6.54 billion yuan ($916.66 million), beating estimates of 4.97 billion yuan, according to IBES data by Refinitiv.
