Yirendai slips as operational weakness overrides Q4 earnings beat

China-based fintech firm Yirendai (YRD) showed broad-based weakness in the fourth quarter, sending its stock down 3.9% during pre-market trading on Monday. Investors remained unmoved by the adjusted earnings of $1.32 per ADS in Q4, much higher than the street projection of 51 cents per ADS.

Hurt by a decline in loan origination volume, total net revenue in the fourth quarter tumbled 30% to $184.8 million.

The company facilitated $1.217 billion worth of loans during the quarter through its online market place, over 31% of which were generated by repeat borrowers. The amount of loan facilitated represents a 38% decline compared to last year.

YRD stock has wiped out over 70% of its value in the trailing 52 weeks. Since the beginning of this year, though, it has recovered somewhat and has gained 6.5%.
