Shares of FinVolution Group (FINV) tumbled 5.05% in pre-market trading on Thursday, as investors reacted to the company's disappointing third-quarter earnings report and reduced revenue guidance for 2025. The Chinese fintech firm's stock price movement significantly underperformed the broader financial sector, which was showing strength in early trading.

FinVolution Group reported a decline in its Q3 adjusted earnings, raising concerns about the company's profitability in the current economic environment. Adding to investor worries, the company also cut its revenue outlook for the full year 2025, suggesting potential challenges in its growth trajectory. These factors combined to trigger a sell-off in the stock before the market open.

The negative sentiment surrounding FinVolution Group contrasts with the overall positive trend in the financial sector. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF), a key indicator of financial stocks' performance, was advancing by 0.8% in pre-market trading. This divergence highlights the company-specific nature of FinVolution's challenges, as broader financial stocks appear to be on an upward trend. Investors will be closely watching for any further updates from the company and its ability to navigate the current headwinds in the coming quarters.
