KANZHUN LTD CL.A DL-,0001

Kanzhun shares lost 5.7% in morning trading to $15.51, weighed down by weak market sentiment and a lack of positive catalysts. Company-specifics showed Q1 2026 EPS at roughly half of analyst expectations, raising doubts about the platform’s monetization. An announced leadership change naming Tao Zhang as rotating president while he remains CTO, plus a generally riskier environment for China-exposed ADRs, intensified selling pressure, while a share buyback of more than 1.48 billion RMB is seen as a positive signal from management. » More on de.investing.com

Kanzhun reported revenue of RMB 2.4 billion for Q2 2026 (+14% y/y) and an adjusted operating margin of 43.8%, the highest in company history; gross margin rose to 87%. Adjusted operating profit climbed 19% and adjusted net income (excluding investment gains) increased 9%; paying corporate customers rose to 7.2 million. For Q3, revenue is forecast between RMB 2.41 billion and RMB 2.5 billion, with the adjusted operating margin expected to remain at a similar level. The stock fell 1.88% premarket as investors showed caution over declining operating cash flow, large one‑off gains in net income and higher marketing costs. » More on de.investing.com

Kanzhun repurchased 840,198 ordinary shares for more than RMB 40.6 million, raising the cumulative buyback volume since the start of 2026 to over RMB 1.67 billion. The board expanded the buyback authorization on March 18 to up to US$400 million; the program runs until August 28, 2027. The company also plans to use at least 50% of adjusted prior‑year net profit annually for dividends and buybacks for three years. The stock is trading roughly 35% below its level six months ago, but InvestingPro analysts currently view it as undervalued and highlight its positive liquidity position. » More on de.investing.com
