Q1 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 360 DigiTech’s first-quarter 2021 earnings is pegged at 78 cents per share, indicating a significant year-over-year growth of more than 100%.The bottom line is expected to have benefited from improvement in operational efficiency and solid cash flow.
