During its latest earnings call , executives repeatedly discussed fulfillment, warehousing, product development, quality control and first-party brands as the company ramps up investments across China's manufacturing ecosystem.

PDD Calls 2026 A "New Starting Point" Executives also described 2026 as a reset year for the company itself.
