Premium products offset volume pressure

That combination points to higher-value products carrying more of the earnings burden.

Margins deserve the next check

The second quarter produced a 47.19 percent gross margin and a 22.63 percent net profit margin.

The quarterly income statement put second-quarter revenue at CNY 9.37 billion and net income at CNY 2.12 billion. Operating cash flow was CNY 2.58 billion in the same period, according to the standardized financial statement for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
