The Chinese fintech industry is booming, and one of its leading players, Qifu Technology (QFIN), is capturing the spotlight with its remarkable profit growth. Qifu, a credit technology platform, has recently found support at a key level and is rebounding above a new buy point, making it one of the most attractive names in the fintech sector.

Qifu's strategic use of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models has been a significant driver of its profit growth acceleration. The company leverages these technologies to empower its business and improve both user experience and operational efficiency. By upgrading its efficiency-focused AI co-pilot system, Qifu achieved a recall rate of 96.3% and an accuracy rate of 98.8% in key information extraction for loan collection. This technological advancement has helped Qifu refine its services and contribute to its impressive financial performance.

In its latest quarterly report, issued on November 19, Qifu reported a 78% year-over-year increase in earnings per share and a 6% increase in sales. This accelerating quarterly earnings growth is a hallmark of stock market winners and signals Qifu's strong performance in the fintech sector.

The China stock is moving past a 35.23 buy point in a short consolidation, with the 5% buy zone running up to 36.99. Qifu's relative strength line is at new highs, reiterating its status as a market leader. The IBD Stock Checkup shows that Qifu stock has a near-perfect 98 IBD Composite Rating, making it one of the best names to buy and watch in the current market.

Qifu's partnerships with financial institutions and its focus on China's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have also played a significant role in its profit growth. By connecting 162 financial institutional partners and 254.3 million consumers with potential credit needs, Qifu has expanded its reach and solidified its position in the fintech landscape. Additionally, Qifu's 'Micro Start' program has provided credit solutions to over 700,000 SMEs, further driving its growth.

Regulatory changes in China's financial sector have also contributed to Qifu's profit growth trajectory. The Chinese government's "chess piece" strategy, which involves progressive deregulation and opening up of the financial sector, has created new opportunities for fintech companies like Qifu. By leveraging AI and large language models, Qifu has been able to provide innovative, efficient, and personalized financial services, attracting a growing client base of both financial institutions and consumers.

As Qifu continues to innovate and grow, it positions itself well in the global fintech landscape. Its commitment to leveraging technology and focusing on the SME sector has driven its success, and investors should take note of this Chinese fintech giant.
