LexinFintech Holdings Ltd., a leading technology-driven personal financial service provider in China, has announced a share repurchase program of up to $50 million over the next 12 months. The program, authorized by the company's board of directors, reflects confidence in LexinFintech's business fundamentals and growth opportunities [1].

The share repurchase program allows LexinFintech to buy back shares through various methods, depending on market conditions. The company's CEO, Jay Wenjie Xiao, has also expressed his intention to use personal funds to purchase up to $10 million worth of American depository shares (ADSs) within the same timeframe [1].

The announcement comes amidst strong financial performance, with the company reporting significant quarter-over-quarter growth in profit margins for four consecutive quarters. Non-GAAP EBIT reached RMB 580 million in Q1 2025, up 104.7% year-over-year and 25.3% quarter-over-quarter [1].

Investors have shown increased interest in LexinFintech, with 72 institutional investors adding shares to their portfolios in the most recent quarter, while 53 decreased their positions [1]. The stock has experienced a 7.6% decline over the past week but maintains an impressive 286% return over the last year [2].

While the share repurchase program demonstrates confidence in the company's future, it may also indicate limited growth opportunities. Additionally, the reliance on forward-looking statements introduces uncertainty and potential risks [1]. Mr. Xiao's personal share purchase could raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest [1].
