Analysis · XYF · Finance
The core lending business at X Financial is shrinking at an accelerating pace. Total loan originations fell 70.2% year-over-year to RMB11.63 billion, active borrowers dropped 74.8% to 720,258, and net income collapsed 91.1% to RMB47.0 million. The company is deliberately shrinking its loan book amid a challenging credit environment, with the 91-180 day delinquency rate still elevated at 9.09% despite sequential improvement. Against this backdrop, management is returning capital to shareholders — repurchasing US$12.49 million in ADSs year-to-date and declaring a US$0.28 per ADS semi-annual dividend — which signals confidence in the balance sheet even as the operating business contracts. The regulatory environment in China remains a material overhang, with management explicitly warning that historical profitability should not be assumed indicative of future performance.
