Noah stock (ISIN US65487X1028) ended at USD 7.82 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 0.50 percent for the session and 37.2 percent below its 52-week high of USD 12.44. The latest filing adds an insider-selling angle to the investment case.

Director reports 16,000 ADS sales

According to StockTitan on October 2, 2026, director May Yihong Wu reported direct sales totaling 16,000 ordinary shares represented by ADS on September 29 and September 30. The reported sale prices ranged from USD 7.86 to USD 7.9081, and the filing showed 20,000 ADS remaining after the transactions.

The sale disclosure arrived while the stock traded close to its yearly floor of USD 7.76. For investors, the timing makes the USD 7.82 closing level and the reported insider activity more relevant than a broad market comparison.

Consensus target stays above USD 9

MarketBeat lists a Hold consensus from four analysts, an average price target of USD 9.85, a high target of USD 10.00 and a low target of USD 9.70. The average target lies 26.0 percent above the October 2 price.

In a separate report dated September 21, 2026, MarketBeat said JPMorgan cut its target from USD 10.50 to USD 9.70 while keeping a Neutral rating. The change places the bank's target at 24.0 percent above the October 2 close, a smaller spread than the wider consensus average.

Assets and clients anchor the story

According to Noah Holdings, assets under management reached RMB 140.9 billion as of June 30, 2026, while registered clients totaled 469,987. The company also reported first-half transaction value of RMB 40.4 billion, equivalent to USD 6.0 billion in the same disclosure.

These figures show the scale supporting the wealth and asset management platform, while the share price remains 37.2 percent below the 52-week high. The contrast leaves the market weighing operating scale against cautious analyst expectations and the recent director sale.
