I was immediately attracted to the company as DiDi's market leadership promised to steer the company in the direction of sustainable long-term profits.

Although I acknowledge DiDi's efforts to turn the company profitable despite decelerating growth and the possibility of a jump in stock price resulting from a potential Hong Kong listing, as a growth investor, I no longer find DiDi attractive.</p> <h2>The Rise Of Aggregator Platforms Has Permanently Impaired DiDi's Growth Potential</h2> <p>The rising competition in China's ridesharing industry has already had an impact on DiDi's growth. DiDi's market share has slipped to around 70% from a high of close to 95% four years ago, with the primary threat coming from the rise of aggregator platforms. There are a few notable aggregator platforms in China today.</p> <ol> <li>Amap, owned by Alibaba.</li> <li>Baidu Map.</li> <li>MeiTuan Dache.</li> </ol> <p>In addition to these aggregator platforms, ridehailing and ride-pooling platforms such as Dida Chuxing, Cao Cao Mobility, and T3 Go also pose a threat to DiDi. However, the rise of aggregator platforms marks a fundamental shift in the way Chinese consumers book rideshares.</p> <p>China's ridesharing market is massive. As of 2023, there were 528 million ridehailing users in China. To add some context, the total U.S. population stands at 345 million today. To cater to this massive market, a plethora of ridesharing companies have popped up in recent years. According to data from China Internet Watch, there were 337 registered ridesharing companies in the nation as of 2023. DiDi, not surprisingly, is the most popular ridesharing platform in China today.</p> <p><strong>Exhibit 1: Ridesharing usage by brand in China</strong></p> <figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/9/25/49736731-17272615645685503.png\"/> </picture><figcaption><p><span>Statisa</span></p></figcaption></figure><p>Historically, the vast majority of ridesharing platforms in China have failed to gain traction due to their financial inability to develop high-quality mobile applications to compete with DiDi. However, the rise of aggregator platforms - intermediaries that connect drivers with riders - has removed this major barrier as smaller companies can now use these platforms to reach a massive audience.</p> <p>According to data from China's Ministry of Transportation, aggregating platforms handled 232 million rides in April 2024, accounting for 26% of total orders. For comparison, in April 2023, aggregator platforms accounted for 18% of total orders. This stellar growth highlights the growing importance of aggregator platforms, and I believe this marks the beginning of a new era in China's ridesharing sector where users feel more comfortable with familiar aggregator apps owned by big tech companies.</p> <p>DiDi has already identified the threat posed by aggregator platforms. The company is now offering similar aggregator solutions by allowing competing ridesharing companies to offer their services within the DiDi mobile app. However, in Beijing, DiDi still offers only four options for riders compared to more than 60 for Alibaba-owned Amap.</p> <p><strong>Exhibit 2: Ridesharing interface of Amap</strong></p> <figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/9/25/saupload_1-s2.0-S2212012224000029-gr1_lrg_thumb1.jpg\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>Economics of Transportation</span></p></figcaption></figure><p>When we dig deeper, we find that DiDi's massive early success was driven in large part by its aggressive acquisition strategy. A key deal was the Uber China acquisition in 2016 for approximately $35 billion. One way to thwart the threat of increasing competition from aggregator apps is to acquire second-tier ridesharing companies. However, given the regulatory scrutiny faced by DiDi, the company is highly unlikely to be allowed to consolidate its market share through acquisitions in the foreseeable future.</p> <p>With little possibility of regulatory approval for a deal to acquire a second-tier ridesharing platform, DiDi is left with no option but to compete with rising aggregator platforms on its own. Making matters worse, a notable increase in competitive threats is likely in the coming years when aggregator platforms address common concerns raised by ridesharing customers such as low vehicle compliance rates and safety hazards. Although I do not believe DiDi faces an existential threat, I am convinced that aggregator platforms will limit DiDi's long-term growth potential.</p> <h2>DiDi Will Remain Relevant</h2> <p>As the largest and most popular ridesharing platform in China, DiDi will continue to remain relevant and will likely see steady revenue growth. As illustrated below, growth has decelerated in recent quarters, which, I believe, is a result of increased competitive threats and the maturing ridesharing market in China.</p> <p><strong>Exhibit 3: DiDi quarterly revenue growth</strong></p> <figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/9/25/49736731-1727263440512141.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p><span>FinChat</span></p></figcaption></figure><p>DiDi, since January 2023 when its mobile apps were allowed on popular app stores, has seen a dramatic improvement in financial performance. The company broke through to profitability on an adjusted basis in 2023 with its operating margins turning a corner coinciding with stellar revenue growth last year.</p> <p>Although I believe DiDi will continue to enjoy a meaningful share of China's ridesharing market, this alone is not a good enough reason for me to invest in the company given my expectations for a prolonged period of single-digit revenue growth due to competitive pressures and market saturation.</p> <h2>Takeaway</h2> <p>DiDi Global, the leading ridesharing company in China, is under pressure from aggregator platforms that offer users a seamless, efficient way of booking taxis and hailing rides from dozens of service providers. DiDi's market share has meaningfully declined in the last few years, and I believe the company will continue to lose market share in the next five years. Although DiDi may be attractively valued compared to global ridesharing leader Uber Technologies, Inc. (UBER), I believe growth investors should avoid DiDi stock given the growth challenges the company may soon face.</p> <div></div> <p>Editor's Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.
