Yili (CNE000000JP5) approved a share buyback worth CNY 1.0 billion to CNY 2.0 billion on October 10, 2026, with the repurchased shares set for cancellation, according to Fenghuang. The program gives Yili a concrete shareholder-return tool while its latest results show rising sales but sharply lower reported profit.

Buyback terms set a clear limit

The company authorized the use of its own funds at no more than CNY 39.53 per share, with the program lasting up to six months after shareholder approval. The shares are to be canceled and the registered capital reduced, according to Fenghuang. The progress notice dated October 10 said the repurchase had yet to be implemented as of September 30, 2026.

The chronology matters because Yili had already published its first-half report on September 27, 2026. Futunn reported first-half revenue of CNY 64.49 billion, up 4.13 percent year over year, while net profit attributable to shareholders fell 20.02 percent to CNY 5.76 billion.

What does the buyback mean for returns?

The answer depends on execution and the earnings base. In the second quarter of 2026, revenue reached CNY 29.665 billion, up 2.59 percent year over year, but net profit attributable to shareholders dropped 84.35 percent to CNY 364 million, according to Futunn. The report attributed the pressure partly to impairment charges linked to Ausnutria, while first-half gross margin reached 36.4 percent, up 0.4 percentage points year over year.

Three dates frame the stock

On September 27, 2026, Yili reported first-half revenue of CNY 64.49 billion through its interim report. On October 2, 2026, Morningstar set a CNY 33.60 fair value estimate. On October 10, 2026, the company disclosed the CNY 1.0 billion to CNY 2.0 billion repurchase plan.

Next earnings date

The next substantiated date is October 30, 2026, when Yili is scheduled to report third-quarter results, according to Investing.com. The page lists consensus revenue of CNY 30.01 billion for the quarter.
