HONG KONG -- Shares of PDD Holdings, the parent company of Chinese international online retailer Temu, plummeted more than 18% in Tuesday's premarket trading in New York, after its first-quarter sales fell short of expectations.

Total revenue in the January-March quarter rose 10% on the year to 95.67 billion yuan ($13.2 billion), markedly below the average estimate of 102.51 billion yuan from analysts surveyed by LSEG.
