Net profit attributable to shareholders reached 2.899 billion yuan, turning a profit compared to the loss a year earlier and marking a 252% increase from the previous quarter. However, the day after the earnings release, BIWIN Storage faced an unexpected stake reduction. Five of its shareholders announced plans to collectively sell up to 9.4167 million shares via block trades and centralized bidding, representing no more than 2.00% of the company's total share capital. In other industry news, Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. reported revenue exceeding 20 billion yuan for the first quarter. To ensure production capacity, the company is constructing two additional new fabrication plants this year, following the recent completion of one new facility. Upon full operational deployment, total production capacity is expected to more than double, with a single plant's monthly output potentially reaching 100,000 wafers. Industry insiders have described this expansion as "epic." The construction of the new plants is already complete.
