BZ Stock Recent News

Kanzhun delivered solid Q1 results with revenue and earnings in line or above consensus, supported by strong growth in paid enterprise users and blue-collar segments. Despite strong fundamentals and AI-driven innovation, macroeconomic headwinds in China—property weakness, declining consumption, and layoffs—pose significant risks to future growth. We maintain a HOLD rating, as risk-reward is balanced: leadership in online recruitment is offset by uncertain macro conditions and potential demand weakness.

I reiterate my buy rating on Kanzhun, as 1Q25 results show strong revenue growth, profitability rebound, and early AI monetization signals. Platform engagement remains robust, with rising hiring activity and user growth, even as the company reduced marketing spend, highlighting strong network effects. Expansion into blue-collar and lower-tier city markets is accelerating, unlocking new growth avenues and validating BZ's strategic direction.

Kanzhun (BZ -3.77%) delivered its first-quarter 2025 results on May 22, reporting that revenue rose 13% year over year to 1.92 billion yuan while GAAP net income rose 112% to 512 million yuan. The company, which operates an online job recruitment platform in China, saw a sharp expansion in adjusted operating margin to 36%, growth in blue-collar and lower-tier city users, and expanded AI integration across user, recruiter, and internal management functions.
