This annual report reveals a deeply concerning financial and operational landscape for Lufax Holding Ltd. The consecutive net losses in 2024 and 2025, coupled with a restatement of prior financial results and the identification of material weaknesses in internal controls, signal significant governance and accounting challenges. The increasing delinquency rates and substantial rise in credit impairment losses directly reflect deteriorating asset quality and the heightened risk associated with the company's shift to a 100% guarantee business model. Furthermore, the ongoing securities class action adds to the legal and reputational pressures. Investors should be highly cautious, as these issues collectively point to fundamental weaknesses that could severely impact future profitability and investor confidence. The company's ability to effectively remediate internal control weaknesses and manage escalating credit risks will be critical to its long-term viability.
