A securities fraud class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging Qfin overstated the resilience of its business before an 18.9% ADS drop from $11.53 to $9.35 on August 26, 2026, after Q2 revenue fell 31.6% and net income fell 76.8% year-over-year. The suit keeps litigation and disclosure risk in focus and can add selling pressure. The stock already fell on the underlying results, so the lawsuit itself is a follow-on negative rather than a fresh shock.

Catalysts
