Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 18 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | +1.3% | Strong Q3 2025 revenue and profit growth with extended US$250M buyback. |
| Aug 20 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | +4.8% | Robust revenue and net income growth plus new dividend and buyback plans. |
| Mar 11 | FY 2024 results | Positive | +4.9% | Strong 2024 growth, record adjusted margins and sizable 2024 repurchases. |
| Dec 11 | Q3 2024 earnings | Positive | +2.7% | High revenue and user growth with new US$350M repurchase authorizations. |
| Aug 28 | Q2 2024 earnings | Positive | -21.4% | Strong Q2 2024 growth and margins but shares fell sharply post‑report. |
Earnings releases have generally been received positively, with 4 of the last 5 earnings events seeing shares rise despite one large negative reaction in Q2 2024.
Over the past five earnings cycles, KANZHUN has repeatedly reported double‑digit revenue growth and rising profitability, often paired with shareholder return actions like buyback authorizations up to US$250M. Events on Aug 28, 2024, Dec 11, 2024, Mar 11, 2025, Aug 20, 2025 and Nov 18, 2025 all highlighted expansion in paid enterprise customers and MAUs, as well as growing cash balances. Today’s Q4 and full‑year 2025 results continue that pattern, adding a larger US$400M buyback cap and a multi‑year dividend/buyback allocation framework.
Historical Comparison
Across the last 5 earnings or annual result releases, BZ’s average next‑day move was -1.54% despite generally strong fundamentals. This backdrop shows that even solid earnings and capital‑return news have not always translated into sustained upside.
Earnings updates from Q2 2024 through Q3 2025 show consistent revenue and profit growth, expanding user and customer metrics, and escalating shareholder returns via repurchases and, more recently, an annual dividend framework. The latest Q4/FY 2025 release extends this trajectory with higher cash generation and a larger buyback authorization.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved -5.9% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite solid numbers would fit past patterns where earnings sometimes led to downside, with an average move of -1.54% across the last five such events. Yet Q4 2025 revenue still grew 14.0%, and full‑year net income climbed 71.7% alongside strong cash generation of RMB4,552.4M from operations. Any sharp decline would contrast with the company’s expanded US$400M buyback plan and dividend framework.
