LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: LX) saw its stock price surge by 5.15% in the pre-market trading session on Wednesday, fueled by the company's strong financial performance in the third quarter of 2024 and optimistic outlook for the future.
The Chinese fintech giant reported a remarkable 36.7% year-over-year increase in net profit to RMB310 million, despite a decline in loan origination volumes.

LexinFintech's operating revenue grew by 4.4% year-over-year to RMB3.7 billion, reflecting the company's ongoing transformation and diversification efforts. Furthermore, the company achieved a record low funding cost of 4.28%, nearly 100 basis points lower than the previous quarter, contributing significantly to the bottom-line growth.
