Portfolio Pulse from Lekha Gupta
Shares of ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc (NYSE:ZTO) fell approximately 6% in premarket trading following the release of their Q3 FY23 results. Despite a 1.5% Y/Y increase in revenue to $1.244 billion and an 18.1% Y/Y increase in parcel volume, the company saw declines in key areas such as KA revenue and freight forwarding services.
