Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 36 days.
The thesis — published July 3, 2025
A recent Hong Kong share sale raised about US$280 million, giving Kanzhun extra cash to improve its online recruiting tools and grow abroad. On 2 Jul, analysts noted free cash flow of CN¥3.2 billion, far above the profit it reports, so the company is turning earnings into real money. The market mood is very positive, and the stock is priced at only 13 times 2025 earnings while rivals trade at 18 times. If buying picks up, the price could reach about $22, or 18 %, helped by government steps likely to boost hiring soon.
Primary drivers
- US$280 m raised in HK listing removes near-term cash concerns
- CN¥3.2 b free cash flow beats profit, proving strong cash generation
- Shares at 13x 2025 earnings vs peers at 18x give room for price growth
- Expected policy-driven hiring rebound could speed up revenue gains
