Sunshine Paper's stock plunged 6.67% during intraday trading on Monday, following the release of concerning financial results that highlighted deteriorating profitability.
The company reported its FY 2025 first half results, revealing a decline in revenue to C¥3.6 billion from C¥4.0 billion in the same period last year. More significantly, basic earnings per share dropped to C¥0.08 from C¥0.18, while the net profit margin compressed to 2.1% compared to 3.5% the prior year.
These results reinforce a longer-term trend of earnings decline, with the company experiencing approximately 21.3% annual earnings deterioration over five years. The weak financial performance, particularly the margin compression and declining EPS, likely prompted investor concern and contributed to the significant selling pressure during the trading session.
