Analysis
Director Wan Zheng sold all of his direct holdings, totaling 180,000 shares for $942,300, representing a complete liquidation of his direct stock in the company. This significant sale, which accounts for nearly 0.5% of the company's market capitalization, comes after X Financial reported a substantial drop in Q1 net income and loan origination, and just prior to the announcement of its Chief Risk Officer's resignation. While the director retains 90,000 restricted stock units, the full disposal of direct shares by a board member during a period of negative company news and executive turnover is a strong negative signal to the market.
