Jiayin Group Falls 5% as Revenue Collapses and Company Suspends Dividend
Jiayin Group (NASDAQ: JFIN) shares fell 5% after the Chinese fintech company reported a sharp contraction in its lending business and swung to a substantial second-quarter loss.
Transaction volume plunged 74.4% year over year to RMB9.5 billion, while net revenue dropped 60.9% to RMB736.9 million. Jiayin recorded a net loss of RMB183.6 million, reversing a RMB519.1 million profit a year earlier. Operating results similarly swung from RMB639.1 million in income to a RMB246.7 million loss.
The deterioration was particularly severe in the core business. Loan facilitation revenue collapsed 88.5% to RMB184.8 million, while facilitation and servicing expenses surged 92.7% to RMB549.3 million. Management attributed the quarterly loss primarily to the contraction in business scale and said it is shifting away from scale-driven growth toward quality and efficiency.
Another significant negative for shareholders is Jiayin’s decision to suspend its dividend for fiscal 2026. The company said it intends to preserve capital for strategic investments and working-capital needs.
The 5% decline therefore appears tied to the combination of collapsing transaction volumes and revenue, a swing into losses, sharply higher servicing costs and the suspension of the dividend as Jiayin restructures its business model.
