Foolish Take
Allocating nearly one-fifth of a portfolio to a single position suggests Bright Valley believes the market is still mispricing the durability of the underlying business. Full Truck Alliance sits at the center of China’s logistics economy, where scale and network effects compound quietly rather than explosively. In the third quarter, the company grew revenue 10.8% year over year to $471.7 million while fulfilled orders jumped more than 22%, a reminder that usage growth continues to outpace headline sales growth.
What makes the story more interesting is where that growth is coming from. Transaction services revenue surged 39% year over year, and value added services rose nearly 17%, pushing the platform further away from simple freight listings and deeper into monetized infrastructure. At the same time, the balance sheet remains a strength, with $4.4 billion in cash and investments and consistent operating cash flow generation.
Within the broader portfolio, this position sits alongside other China internet and platform names, reinforcing that this is a thematic bet on digital marketplaces rather than a one-off trade. The stock has lagged the broader market, but for patient investors, scale, profitability, and cash can bode well.
