Levi & Korsinsky Reminds Qfin Holdings, Inc. Investors of the Pending Class Action Lawsuit With a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of November 27, 2026 - QFIN

Rights of U.S.-Listed ADS Holders: A securities action alleges that QFIN overstated its ability to withstand PRC regulatory changes. Although QFIN is headquartered in Shanghai and incorporated in the Cayman Islands, its American depositary shares trade on Nasdaq and are held by U.S. investors.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Purchasers of Qfin Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QFIN) American depositary shares ("ADSs") between March 18, 2026 and August 25, 2026 may hold claims under U.S. federal securities law. Levi & Korsinsky, LLP reminds investors that a securities class action has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Submit your information or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

Qfin ADSs closed at $9.35 on August 26, 2026, down $2.18, or 18.91%, from $11.53 one session earlier. Each ADS represents two Class A ordinary shares, so the decline equals roughly $1.09 per underlying share. Lead plaintiff applications must be submitted by November 27, 2026.

Qfin ADS Investor Rights Follow the Nasdaq Listing

Qfin is a Cayman Islands corporation headquartered in Shanghai, but its ADSs trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The action asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, which in practical terms let investors who paid allegedly inflated prices seek damages from the Company and the officers who controlled its public statements. Plaintiffs contend that hundreds, if not thousands, of Qfin investors are located in the United States.

The Alleged Gap Behind the Claims

The action alleges that management portrayed the business as "resilient," "steady," and "stable" under new PRC loan facilitation rules while downplaying how severely those headwinds were already affecting results. On August 25, 2026, Qfin reported that second-quarter revenue fell 31.6% and net income fell 76.8% year-over-year, a result that included an unexpected RMB 500 million tax expense. The Company also guided to a 67% to 73% drop in third-quarter non-GAAP net income, and the lawsuit alleges these disclosures corrected earlier alleged misstatements.

"Investors who buy ADSs on a U.S. exchange are entitled to accurate disclosure, whether the issuer is headquartered in New York or Shanghai. The complaint alleges that Qfin's descriptions of its resilience did not reflect the regulatory pressure already weighing on its results. Class members should know that their rights do not depend on whether they still hold the securities." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq., managing partner of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP
