PDD Holdings, the Chinese parent of popular bargain online seller Temu, said its profit dropped nearly 50% in the first quarter, as a drastically different tariff environment in the U.S. added to challenges at home. The company's shares fell 14% in Nasdaq trading Tuesday.

With President Trump in the White House, PDD faced a major setback in its global ambitions, as Temu, whose ultracheap everyday items have been a hit with budget-conscious U.S. consumers, faced not just new U.S. tariffs but also the disappearance of a duty exemption for low-value packages from China.

A total number of 469.77K options related to PDD Holdings was traded on Tuesday, of which 61% were call options. Bearish options related to PDD saw big gains on Tuesday. For example, the $109 strike put option expiring this Friday soared 532%.
