Three events shaped 2026
On August 26, 2026, Haitian reported first-half revenue of CNY 16.15 billion and net profit attributable to shareholders of CNY 4.19 billion. On September 11, 2026, the company acquired Amoy Food from Trustar Capital, as MarketScreener reported. The October 8, 2026 buyback update is the latest of the three events.
Revenue growth meets cautious forecasts
Yahoo Finance reported that first-half revenue rose 6.00 percent from CNY 15.23 billion, while operating profit increased to CNY 4.96 billion from CNY 4.66 billion. Net profit attributable to shareholders grew 7.20 percent, a faster rate than revenue growth and an important counterweight to the cautious market outlook.
Goldman Sachs expected Haitian's third-quarter 2026 sales growth at 0.50 percent and net profit growth at minus 0.90 percent, while cutting its H-share target from HKD 39.80 to HKD 35.20 on September 30, 2026, according to Futunn. The contrast is clear: the first-half figures show improving profit conversion, while the forecast points to weaker near-term sales momentum.
Trading level remains below the yearly high
Haitian stock stood at CNY 33.17 on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on September 30, 2026, compared with a 52-week range of CNY 32.44 to CNY 42.22. The 21.44 percent gap to the high gives the buyback a measurable valuation context, while the September purchase range reached as high as CNY 37.37.
