Full Truck Alliance offers a digital freight platform providing freight listing, matching, brokerage, transaction, and value-added services such as credit solutions, insurance brokerage, and electronic toll collection.
-
The company generates revenue primarily through transaction fees, value-added services, and technology development for shippers and truckers in China.
-
It serves shippers seeking efficient freight solutions and truckers looking for shipment opportunities across various cargo types and distances within the Chinese market.
Full Truck Alliance Co. Ltd. operates at scale as a leading digital freight platform in China, leveraging technology to connect shippers and truckers efficiently. The company’s integrated service offering and broad network provide a competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving logistics sector. Its strategy focuses on digitalization and value-added services to drive growth and operational efficiency.
Trimming a position that still sits among the fund’s top holdings suggests calibration, not capitulation. In other words, this looks less like a loss of faith and more like portfolio discipline after a volatile stretch for Chinese equities, particularly since the stock was up about 22% year to date through the end of the third quarter, offering up opportunities to lock in some gains while keeping a position in the stock.
Fundamentally, Full Truck Alliance continues to do what long-term investors should care about. Full Truck Alliance posted third-quarter revenue of roughly $472 million, up nearly 11% year over year, driven by strong growth in transaction services, which surged 39% as order volumes and monetization improved. Fulfilled orders climbed more than 22%, while average shipper MAUs rose almost 18%, reinforcing the platform’s scale advantages.
That said, profitability told a more mixed story. Net income declined 18% year over year, reflecting higher operating costs and increased investment in technology and ecosystem development. Management also guided fourth-quarter revenue slightly below last year’s level, a reminder that growth is moderating even as engagement metrics remain strong. Placed alongside the fund’s heavier weights in global asset managers and mega-cap tech, this holding still reads as a targeted bet on digital infrastructure rather than a core macro call on China.
