Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 69% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published June 17, 2026
QFIN looks cheap and showed a sharp jump in profits that pushed the stock higher recently. That creates a story where the market could revalue the company if the positive news keeps up. However, reported sales and profit trends have been uneven, trading is thin, and fast changes in China's fintech rules could quickly reverse sentiment. Near-term conviction is low.
Primary drivers
- Recent sharp profit news supports a cheap-asset rebound case
- Low current price could allow a re-rating if confidence returns
- Solid liquidity gives some protection on drops
- China fintech rules and low volume make the situation risky
How it played out
QFIN: peaked at 15.68, ended at 8.05
Lyra published QFIN at 14.48 with 12% expected growth over the short-term window. The thesis pointed to recent profit news, a low valuation that could support a re-rating, and solid liquidity. It also flagged uneven sales and profit trends, thin trading, and changing Chinese fintech rules as risks.
The stock rose to a 15.68 peak on July 1, 2026, for an 8.3% peak gain. That peak was above the published 15.38 target, although the outcome did not record the target as reached. It then ended the window at 8.05 on September 15, 2026. The rebound thesis played out briefly, but the expected 12% growth did not hold through the close.
What happened during the window
On August 25, 2026, Qfin reported second-quarter total net revenue of RMB3,566.6 million and net income of RMB401.4 million. It also declared a semi-annual dividend.
