$BOSS ZHIPIN-W(02076.HK) $Kanzhun(BZ.US) Q3 financial report has been released, and the overall performance basically met expectations. It is still the same BOSS—despite still facing pressure, the company's ability to outperform Beta is still evident. Specifically: 1. Billings showed signs of recovery: Q3 billings increased by 14% year-on-year, showing a significant recovery compared to the previous quarter. Although this was within expectations and last year's base was low, it is commendable to withstand the pressure in a relatively high-pressure environment...

Boss Zhipin: Not Surprising, but Still Strong

Kanzhun 3Q25 Quick Interpretation: The recruitment giant Kanzhun's third-quarter performance overall met expectations, although it may lack surprises compared to previous periods. Despite significant external pressures, the company's number of corporate clients continues to grow, user mindshare remains leading, and internal efficiency improvements have led to a sustained trend of improving profitability. 1. Billings expected to rebound: Third-quarter billings increased by 14% year-on-year, showing a significant rebound compared to the previous quarter. Although this was within expectations, last year's base was also low. Given the relatively high-pressure environment, maintaining resilience is commendable. 2. Revenue guidance is moderate: The company's revenue guidance for the fourth quarter implies a growth rate in the range of 12.4% to 13.5%, with a slight sequential improvement, driven by a decrease in the base, which aligns with market expectations. 3. Net increase in B-end clients: The growth in billings mainly stems from a stable net increase in the number of clients. In the third quarter, paid corporate clients saw a net increase of 300,000, higher than the previous quarter. However, the calculated average revenue per client declined year-on-year, and combined with Sensor Tower's tracking data on iOS (19% year-on-year growth), we speculate that the increase mainly comes from small and medium-sized enterprises. 4. C-end monthly active users continue to grow: Overall monthly active users reached 63.8 million, with a net increase of 3.2 million sequentially, slightly below expectations. However, within the industry, BOSS Zhipin's user scale share continues to rise. 5. Maintaining cost control and efficiency improvement: The final core operating profit was 690 million, exceeding the market expectation of 610 million, with a profit margin of 32%, up 1 percentage point sequentially. As in the previous two quarters, this mainly resulted from a significant decline in sales and R&amp;D expenses. This strict cost control trend is the main theme of BOSS Zhipin's internal operations this year. $Kanzhun(BZ.US) $BOSS ZHIPIN-W(02076.HK)

1118 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro 1. Today, both Hong Kong and A-shares collectively declined as the market's expectation for a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve continued to decrease. According to CME's &#34;FedWatch&#34;, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has dropped to 42.9%, previously exceeding 70%. Federal Reserve Governor Waller also stated that if the job market rebounds, the necessity for an insurance rate cut will diminish. Additionally, the sell-off pressure on tech stocks and the Japanese bond market faced a sell-off wave due to concerns that the Kishida government will implement a large-scale fiscal expansion plan. Under multiple factors, global markets collectively declined...

Kanzhun (Minutes): Recruitment demand on the platform has recovered

$Kanzhun(BZ.US) Q2 report has been released. Although the performance is not perfect, the flaws do not overshadow the merits. It once again proves that in a headwind environment, a reliable and small yet beautiful team will increasingly highlight its competitive advantages. Specifically: 1. User share continues to rise: In the second quarter, platform users increased by 3 million quarter-on-quarter, reaching 60.6 million. At the same time, sales expenses for promotion increased by 10% year-on-year, returning to normal levels. However, due to significant optimization of sales personnel, overall marketing expenses still fell by 23% year-on-year. Compared to absolute values, Dolphin Research pays more attention to market share...

Kanzhun: The environment remains volatile, but the essence of being small and exquisite remains unchanged.

BZ 2Q25 Quick Interpretation: The Q2 performance had both positives and negatives. The positives include profit exceeding expectations, dividends, and a new buyback plan, while the negatives are weaker cash flow and Q3 revenue guidance that is essentially inline. According to Dolphin Research, this mixed result reflects the current situation of 'high environmental pressure' and 'BOSS Zhipin having more relative advantages.' 1. Has the cash flow recovery trend halted?: Although Q2 revenue met expectations, cash flow was less than 2.1 billion, with a year-on-year growth of only 5.7%, which is not only below expectations but also seems to contradict the company's guidance of 'bottoming out in Q4 last year and recovering quarter by quarter.' Dolphin Research believes that the misalignment of the spring recruitment due to the difference in the timing of the Spring Festival (earlier in 2025 than in 2024) might be one factor. Additionally, the impact of tariffs in April might have had a delayed reaction (in May, the company believed tariffs had no impact on foreign trade enterprise recruitment). It is recommended to pay attention to related statements in the conference call. 2. Guidance is also mediocre?: The company's guidance for Q3 total revenue is 2.13-2.16 billion, implying a growth rate of 11-13%, which is basically in line with expectations, but the improvement trend between quarters (Q3 compared to Q2) is not as apparent as the market expected. Dolphin Research believes that, combined with Sensor Tower data (significant year-on-year growth in cash flow in June and July), BOSS Zhipin's guidance leaves room for maneuver, which aligns with the management's consistently cautious and conservative style. 3. User growth not fast enough?: The overall MAU in Q2 exceeded 60 million, but the market seemed to expect more. However, Dolphin Research believes this is not a major issue. Compared to absolute values, we focus more on market share. According to Questmobile data, BOSS Zhipin's user share continues to increase. Since May, Yupaopao Recruitment, characterized by direct phone chats and targeting the blue-collar market, has increased advertising in first- and second-tier markets, striving to penetrate the white-collar market. Dolphin Research believes there is no need to worry too much for now. Whether in terms of recommendation algorithms or the completeness and matching degree of the supply and demand ecosystem in the white-collar industry, Yupaopao poses little competitive threat to BOSS Zhipin. 4. Profit exceeded expectations: The main highlight of Q2 is the profit. The operating profit of the core business was 650 million, with the profit margin rapidly increasing to 31%, an 8 percentage point increase quarter-on-quarter, significantly higher than the market consensus. The essence behind this is: 1) Reflecting BOSS Zhipin's economies of scale, with improved gross margin and reduced R&amp;D expense ratio;2) Reflecting BOSS Zhipin's competitive advantage, with a reduced sales expense ratio.3) Reflecting BOSS Zhipin's internal management efficiency, with SBC down 24% year-on-year. 5. Annual dividend and new buyback: The advantage of the business model is manifested in the increasing cash on the books, reaching 2.2 billion USD by the end of Q2 (including short-term deposits and investments). This time, an annual dividend plan is initiated, with 80 million USD (0.168 USD/ADS) to be distributed in October, and last year's approved buyback is extended by one year to August 2026, with a buyback not exceeding 250 million USD during this period. $Kanzhun(BZ.US) $BOSS ZHIPIN-W(02076.HK)
