Analysis · AIJTY · Technology
Jianpu's core business is shrinking fast — total revenue fell 49.6% year-over-year to RMB280.9M (US$41.4M), driven by the board-approved wind-down of credit card recommendation and non-core businesses initiated in April 2025. Net income collapsed to RMB2.4M from RMB19.1M a year earlier. Against that backdrop, the board declared a special cash dividend of US$0.499 per ADS, up to US$10M in aggregate, payable around October 19, 2026. The dividend is notable because it returns cash to shareholders even as the operating business contracts, and it represents a meaningful portion of the company's US$17.2M market cap. The company still holds RMB316.2M (US$46.6M) in cash, so the payout is affordable, but it signals management sees limited reinvestment opportunities in the current business.
