Shares of FinVolution Group (FINV) plummeted 9.21% in early trading on Thursday, as investors reacted negatively to the company's disappointing third-quarter earnings report and reduced revenue guidance for 2025. The Chinese fintech firm's stock took a significant hit, underperforming the broader financial sector which showed strength at the start of the trading session.
FinVolution Group reported a decline in its Q3 adjusted earnings, raising concerns about the company's profitability in the current economic environment. Adding to investor worries, the company also cut its revenue outlook for the full year 2025, suggesting potential challenges in its growth trajectory. These factors combined to trigger a substantial sell-off in the stock, extending the pre-market losses that had already reached nearly 7% before the opening bell.
The negative sentiment surrounding FinVolution Group stands in stark contrast to the overall positive trend in the financial sector. While FINV shares tumbled, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF), a key indicator of financial stocks' performance, was advancing by 0.8% in early trading. This divergence highlights the company-specific nature of FinVolution's challenges, as broader financial stocks appear to be on an upward trend. Investors will be closely watching for any further updates from the company and its ability to navigate the current headwinds in the coming quarters.
