Zhihu Inc. filed a Form 6-K furnishing three Hong Kong next-day disclosure returns covering ADS buybacks executed on the New York Stock Exchange on September 8-10, 2026. The company repurchased 3,500 ADSs (10,500 shares) on September 8, 43,085 ADSs (129,255 shares) on September 9, and 42,550 ADSs (127,650 shares) on September 10, paying roughly US$249,000 in total, all for cancellation. Under its repurchase mandate adopted June 30, 2026, which authorizes buybacks of up to 25,461,758 shares (10% of issued shares), Zhihu has now repurchased 4,832,976 shares, or about 1.9% of its 259,652,105 issued shares. September repurchase prices of US$2.66-2.83 per ADS sit below the US$3.15-3.33 per ADS equivalent implied by July's per-share prices, indicating continued share-price erosion even as the company keeps buying. The 6-K also lists Zhihu's 2026 Interim Report as an exhibit. The steady buyback cadence signals ongoing management confidence with roughly 80% of the mandate still unused, but the disclosure itself is routine and unlikely to move the stock.

Zhihu Inc. filed a 6-K on August 31, 2026 containing five Hong Kong Stock Exchange Next Day Disclosure Returns documenting its ongoing share buyback program on the NYSE through August 27, 2026, along with an amended and restated Nomination Committee charter effective August 26, 2026. Under the buyback mandate approved June 30, 2026, Zhihu has repurchased 4,565,571 Class A ordinary shares, or 1.793% of issued shares, against an authorization of 25,461,758 shares (10% of issued capital). Recent daily purchases ranged from 25,532 to 42,097 ADSs at US$3.0656 to US$3.2217 per ADS, with each ADS representing three Class A ordinary shares, implying ordinary-share prices near US$1.02 to US$1.11. The Nomination Committee charter amendment is a routine governance update covering board candidate criteria, board composition review, and committee procedures, with no personnel changes announced. The steady buyback pace signals management confidence and provides modest support for the depressed share price, though the small dollar amounts involved keep this a routine disclosure rather than a market-moving event.

HKEX rules also impose a moratorium on new share issuance through mid-September 2026 following the repurchases.
