NOAH's latest Q2 2024 results were a disappointment, as the company's latest quarterly revenue and earnings missed expectations and dropped significantly on a YoY basis. On the flip side, Noah Holdings announced a new $50 million buyback program that might enhance the stock's future shareholder yield. I continue to have a Neutral view of NOAH following my evaluation of the company's negative financial performance and positive shareholder capital return outlook.

NOAH has decided to raise its minimum dividend payout ratio from 10% earlier to 35% going forward. Noah Holdings' insurance fee income derived from its international insurance business operations grew by +381.8% YoY in the first nine months of this year.
