Kanzhun Limited disclosed that it will repurchase 500,000 of its ordinary shares for a total of more than 35 million RMB, a tranche of the $250 million share‑repurchase program authorized on August 20 2025 and extended through August 28 2026. The move is part of the company’s broader capital‑allocation strategy, which aims to return value to shareholders while preserving a strong balance sheet.
The repurchase is a small portion of the authorized amount, illustrating a disciplined approach to buying back shares as cash flows allow. The company’s board has approved the program to be executed in multiple tranches, with the 500,000‑share purchase representing the first tranche announced on December 16.
Kanzhun also confirmed its annual dividend policy, which will provide approximately $80 million in cash dividends each year—far below the erroneous figure of $8,000 million cited in the original article. CEO Jonathan Peng Zhao emphasized that the dividend policy is a token of appreciation for shareholders and reflects confidence in the company’s resilient business model and cash‑generation capacity.
Q3 2025 results underpin the buyback and dividend decisions: revenue rose 13.2% year‑over‑year to RMB 2.16 billion, and GAAP net profit surged 67.2% to RMB 780 million. The strong earnings growth, driven by higher paid‑enterprise customer acquisition and AI‑enhanced recruitment services, gives the company ample free cash flow to fund share repurchases and dividends.
The share‑repurchase program signals management’s belief that the stock is undervalued and that cash flows will remain robust. The dividend policy provides a steady income stream for investors and demonstrates a commitment to returning capital. Together, these actions reinforce Kanzhun’s strategy of balancing growth investments—particularly in AI and operational efficiency—with shareholder returns.
Management noted that the company’s focus on AI integration and operational efficiency has been a key driver of the Q3 performance, and that the capital‑allocation decisions are part of a broader plan to support long‑term shareholder value.
