The 70%+ collapse in origination and 91% earnings decline confirm a severe structural contraction, not a temporary dip. The sequential improvement in delinquency rates and the dividend/buyback provide a floor, but the regulatory warning and elevated 91-180 day delinquency (9.09%) suggest further credit deterioration ahead. Traders should watch for any regulatory tightening announcements from Chinese authorities and monitor whether the sequential improvement in provisions can be sustained in Q3.
