The complaint asserts that Qfin Holdings failed to disclose the true severity of regulatory headwinds impacting their operations, leading to materially misleading public statements. This legal challenge follows the company’s August 25 disclosure of second-quarter financial results, which revealed a 31.6% drop in net revenue to 3.57 billion RMB and a 76.8% decline in net income. Management attributed the poor performance to an unexpected 500 million RMB tax expense and projected a further 67% to 73% contraction in third-quarter non-GAAP net income.

Market reaction to the earnings release was immediate. Shares of the company fell $2.18, or 18.91%, closing at $9.35 on August 26. Investors seeking to participate in the litigation or provide information regarding the firm's investigation are encouraged to contact Gregory Stone at Wolf Haldenstein, which maintains that there is no cost or obligation associated with an initial consultation.
