The Yirendai (YRD) stock rally; What say you?

#1

Yirendai has more than tripled in the last couple of months. It has completed decoupled from the other publicly traded marketplace lenders.

The company IPO’d last December at $10 (ADR) and tanked 70%. Right now, it is trading $33+!

Yirendai is a Chinese consumer online marketplace. CreditEase is its parent private company that operates with an online-offline type of business model in China.
Lending Times analysed the stock thoroughly in May and concluded that it was overvalued at $11.90.

What say you about this company that is into Chinese subprime lending, uses an offline-online business model (Credit Ease has a significant physical presence)?

Fintech, transparency and regulation

The ADR lisitng is on NASDAQ. I assume the audited statements are delayed?
