Qudian (QD)

[MWM]

Earnings finally announced March 12th!

[MWM]

Someone has been loading calls, this is about the 5th huge hit since January. I think this sucker is going to explode 50% on earnings and smart money knows this...

[Striker77]

Yep, I just noticed and was looking at it when your message came in. I cant wait for this thing to pop.

[MWM]

Huge hit on the Call options again here!

[Striker77]

Someone has been loading 4000 and 5000 share range all day.

[Striker77]

The whole damn trade sheet is green.....crazy.

[Striker77]

It had to cool off today after green all week. Still severely undervalued and will explode when revenue numbers come.

[geopressure]

I think I bought ~$1000 worth of QD calls today, but if I logged in & verified whether I got filled or not, I would have to see my ACCOUNT VALUE - & I'm not ready for that just yet...

[Striker77]

Very true. Its basically a foreign stock as well since all China lending. Everyone is looking for leverage right now and this is a great way to buy a US stock and still be internationally diverse. The only reason this dropped since IPO was a perfect storm of China crackdown on high interest rates and default rates. These guys took it well, complied and will still bank. USA did same thing a few years ago with all the payday and title loan places jacking people for 48% on loans. Then some lawsuits came up from people ticked about losing money from the IPO price. Not one real company based reason for the drop from 35. You can totally see what is going to happen. Bad news may take things down but fundamentals always win. Why I feel fins will be the real explosion.

[MWM]

It’s clearly a huge growth company and it’s trading at a 10 multiple. I’d say $30 is about right! Maybe more depending on how big they beat on earnings!

[Striker77]

It was my biggest loser three months ago and I just kept cost averaging down. I still see it as worth the IPO price around 35, and other analysts believed it was a low IPO then.

[MWM]

I’ve never seen anything like this, institutions are loading! The float can’t sustain this!

[Striker77]

Giant trade on the bell, was probably one of them.

[MWM]

Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank took new stakes today!

Institutions are friggin Loading!

[MWM]

I think it blows starting now! ;)

[Striker77]

All this time borrow rates and auto default rates have went up. This thing will blow when fins drop.

[MWM]

Hopefully tomorrow is Huge! It could move by 20% imo, shorts are totally screwed!

[crudeoil24]

14.66 > hod!

[MWM]

Look at the Option Buys today, Huge deep in the Money $10 calls for $5 a share, it's Crazy!

[Striker77]

Its been great! Big after hours T trades too. Im 15k deep on it now and been green since last week.

[MWM]

QD the Institutional Buying is INSANE!

https://fintel.io/sob/us/qd

[MWM]

It should really fly today! Earnings are going to be unreal. With its strong connection with BABA, big money will be coming in fast!

[crudeoil24]

QD is a great $$$$$ opportunity!

[MWM]

Actually shortsqueeze.com has the shirt interest at 19 million, can’t find the float anywhere now!
Regardless with HX earnings blowing it out of the water, QD should fly today!

[MWM]

HX just had earnings last Night! Look out world! HX is a direct competitor!

[MWM]

The float is 18 million and 9 million shares are short...

[crudeoil24]

Trading thin! 14.40 in PM. Tutes jumping in this week. They are driving up share price on this super low floater. Call option activity up daily!

[crudeoil24]

MaketWatch showing 226M OS. They also don't have a number on trading float.

[MWM]

Yes but the float is only 18 million?

[crudeoil24]

The OS is about 330M shares. Check SEC filings.

[MWM]

There is no float left! This is INSANE!

[Striker77]

Totally! Bought more this morning. The filings keep coming in and its almost all investor owned. This is just the beginning.

[MWM]

Jesus Christ buy all you can!

[MWM]

Sweet! Still holding and actually bought a few more on the dip yesterday!

[Striker77]

Its gonna start being good from here. Two filings today show chinese investment firms own 30% of shares. Smart guys, they know it, I know, you know it. Follow the money. They arent selling a share.

[MWM]

I agree, I'm so loaded on calls here I don't think I can buy anymore lol!

[Striker77]

This thing is going to blow when next set of revenues come out.

[MWM]

The Financials look great! Only a matter of time before this runs hard, my guess is earnings will do it for sure! Shorts are very wrong here and are starting to get blindsided...

I've got almost $5k worth of calls now...

[Striker77]

I was in big early and had to cost average down to 13.25. Waiting for fins. Going to be good, has just been brought down by apr crackdown and whiners about the ipo. They are making tons.

[MWM]

Not like this...

[Billybob_TX]

Never mind, only QD has options..

[MWM]

I'm starting to fall in love with this stock. With this short Interest something BIG is going to happen!

Ant Financial-Backed Qudian Completes $900M US Listing
PAN YUE
October 18, 2017 — 22:08 HKTFollow Us:

China’s Qudian Inc., a provider of online consumer credit products backed by Ant Financial, has completed a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, raising approximately US$900 million.

The three-year-old company offered 37.5 million American Depositary Shares (ADS) at a price of US$24 apiece, above its previously indicated price range of US$19 to US$22 per share. Due to robust investor demand, the total dollar amount raised from the IPO is 20% higher than its initial target of US$750 million when it filed a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing last month.

The IPO is the fourth-biggest U.S. share sale and the biggest U.S. listing by a Chinese company this year. With the IPO price, Qudian’s market value reach US$7.9 billion. Completing an IPO within three years after being established also puts Qudian as among the fastest start-ups that have achieved public listings.

Founded in 2014, Qudian is an online micro-credit provider, targeting young and mobile-active consumers seeking small amounts of credit to buy laptops, smartphones and other consumer electronics in monthly installments.

It was the largest online provider of small cash credit products in China in terms of the number of active borrowers and the amount of transactions in the six months ended June 30, 2017, according to a report by management consulting firm Oliver Wyman. The company claims that as of the end of the first quarter this year, it has 47.9 million registered users, and an average of 28.9 million monthly active users. A total of 20.7 million times of transactions have been made via the platform.

The firm became profitable last year, recording net income to RMB973.7 million (US$143.6 million) during the first half this year, up 695.2% year-on-year, according to the prospectus.

Qudian’s principal shareholders include API (Hong Kong) Investment Ltd, which is wholly owned by Ant Financial and another Ant Financial-backed entity Qufenqi Holding. API and Qufengqi control 12.8% and 21.6% of Qudian’s shares, respectively, while Chinese venture capital firm Source Code Capital owns a 16.1% stake. Qufengqi Holding was listed on China Money Network’s China Unicorn Ranking before today’s IPO.

In 2016, Qudian completes RMB3 billion (US$450 million) pre-IPO round led by Fenghuangxiangrui Internet Fund and Hangzhou New Century Information Technology Co., Ltd. In 2015, Qudian raised a US$200 million series E round from Ant Financial, Kunlun Group Ltd, Source Code and BlueRun Ventures. The company plans to use the IPO proceeds on marketing to attract more borrowers, as well as on potential acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

[Striker77]

The after hours T trades tell you everything about how the next day goes...

[Striker77]

Another half million buy at the bell today. That trade would be millions of dollars. Has to be the buybacks. Very telling though. They have til Dec 2018 to buy back 300 million worth and if they are willing to buy on a high green day such as today that tells me all I need to know.
