Analysis · QFIN · Finance
Qfin Holdings announced that CEO Haisheng Wu is stepping down to focus on international expansion, with Chief Risk Officer Yan Zheng taking over as CEO and joining the board effective September 21, 2026. The transition comes just weeks after Q2 2026 results showed net income down 54% sequentially on a RMB500M non-recurring tax charge, and with the stock trading near its 52-week low. A CEO change at this juncture raises questions about strategic direction and stability, though the company frames it as a planned succession to support international growth.
