It’s safe to say we’ve never had a Stock Challenge like this before…
First place member ‘Rainendown’ is now up an eye-popping 342.42% for the month, almost exactly double from where he was last Friday. Needless to say, Rainendown could be a new all-time record for Stock Challenge — should he be able to hang onto his gains. Meanwhile, second place member ‘heyjude’ is up a whopping 244.62%, while third place member ‘firefly’ is up 169.11%. Worth noting as well is the fact that the top 16 all currently have triple-digit returns — something we haven’t ever seen in the history of Stock Challenge. Although Sona Nanotech (which is up approximately 341.21% this month) is largely to thank for these massive returns, gold and tech companies are playing a large role in the phenomenal gains we’re seeing this month.
Generally speaking, the Stock Challenge Index (SCI) has been euphoric this month, closing at a high of 19.92% yesterday. The SCI fell alongside major indices to close slightly lower at 18.67% today.

LexinFintech Holdings
LexinFintech Holdings, a leading online consumption and consumer finance platform for educated young professionals in China, fell 4.34% from US$8.99 to US$8.60 today. The company last announced its unaudited financial results for Q1 2020 in early June.
“Adjusted net loss was RMB596 million, as compared to adjusted net income of RMB464 million for the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted net loss per ADS was RMB3.28 on a fully diluted basis.”
LexinFintech’s chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Xiao, commented on the results,
“Our first quarter performance was quite strong, but due to the combination of the adoption of a new accounting policy and the impact of COVID-19, certain events occurred which results in our first quarter numbers becoming not as comparable to our past results . . .”
