Kanzhun Limited completed a share repurchase of 587,254 ordinary shares on April 15, 2026, paying a total of RMB 27.2 million. The following day, the company bought an additional 349,516 ordinary shares for RMB 17.0 million, bringing the year‑to‑date outlay to nearly RMB 880 million.
The repurchase program has been expanded to an authorization of US$400 million, valid through August 28, 2027, and the company has pledged to allocate at least 50 % of its adjusted net income to dividends and share buybacks for the next three years. The cumulative buyback activity reflects a strategic focus on returning capital to shareholders while maintaining a robust cash position.
Kanzhun’s financial performance in the most recent quarter and full year underscores the company’s capacity to fund these buybacks. Q4 2025 revenue rose 14 % year‑over‑year to RMB 297.2 million, and adjusted net income increased 25.4 % to RMB 905.9 million. For the full year 2025, revenue reached RMB 8,267.5 million, up 12.4 % YoY, and net income climbed 71.7 % to RMB 2,690.5 million.
Management highlighted the role of artificial‑intelligence integration in sustaining growth. Founder, Chairman and CEO Jonathan Peng Zhao noted that AI‑driven features such as quick‑hire and AI‑assisted interviews are expanding revenue streams, while Chief Financial Officer Wenbei Wang emphasized the company’s strong top‑line and profitability momentum.
The share repurchase activity signals Kanzhun’s confidence in its financial health and its commitment to enhancing shareholder value. By reducing the number of shares outstanding and returning excess cash, the company aims to support long‑term shareholder returns while continuing to invest in AI‑enabled product development and market expansion.
