Kanzhun: Solid Fundamentals But Soft Macro Keeps Us On The Sideline
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.

Kanzhun Demand Remains Solid Despite Macro Noise
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.
