Temu Goes Viral — Good And Bad — With 'Shop Like A Billionaire' Super Bowl Commercial
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Temu, owned by PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PDD), aired its 'Shop Like a Billionaire' commercial multiple times during Super Bowl LVIII, drawing both attention and criticism. The ad, criticized for its repetitiveness and ties to China, still led to increased searches and app downloads for Temu. Paramount Global (NASDAQ:PARA) (NASDAQ:PARAA), which aired the Super Bowl, benefits from rising ad rates. Despite backlash, Temu's app downloads surged, mirroring last year's post-Super Bowl boost. PDD Holdings' stock rose 3% following the event.
