Autohome reported lower revenues and net income, approved a cash dividend of US$1.58 per ADS and continued a US$400 million buyback.

Outside earnings, Enova International plans a $600 million private offering of senior notes due 2031 to redeem its 11.25% notes due 2028, and AllianceBernstein listed an actively managed covered-call ETF on the NASDAQ.
