Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. (Stock Code: 603160), a leading A-share fingerprint chip company, announced on the evening of August 25 that its president Liu Yuping received an "Investigation Notice" from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) on August 22, 2025. Due to suspected insider trading, the CSRC has decided to open an investigation into Liu Yuping in accordance with the Securities Law of the People's Republic of China, the Administrative Penalty Law of the People's Republic of China, and other relevant laws and regulations.
The 46-year-old Liu Yuping assumed the position of president at Shenzhen Goodix Technology in March this year. On March 21, the company announced that its fifth board of directors held its sixth meeting on March 19, approving the appointment of Liu Yuping as company president. According to the announcement, Liu Yuping is fully responsible for the company's operational management and reports directly to Chairman and CEO Zhang Fan. This means Liu Yuping has been implicated in suspected insider trading less than six months after taking office.
However, this new president is actually a veteran figure at Shenzhen Goodix Technology, having previously served as vice president. Liu Yuping joined the company in March 2005 and has held various positions including R&D engineer, project manager, quality department manager, and engineering department director. From January 2015 to May 2022, he served successively as vice president, supply chain director, and product line director. After leaving Shenzhen Goodix Technology, Liu Yuping officially returned nearly three years later to assume the president role.
According to company information, Shenzhen Goodix Technology is headquartered in Shenzhen and was founded in 2002. Initially focused on fixed-line telephone chip business, the company gradually transformed and entered the touch control chip sector with the booming development of the smartphone market, going public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2016. Currently, the company describes itself as "an integrated application solution provider based on chip design and software development, primarily offering leading semiconductor hardware and software solutions for smart terminals, Internet of Things, and automotive electronics sectors."
In the years following its IPO, Shenzhen Goodix Technology saw both performance and stock price rise significantly. Particularly in 2019, adjusted net profit surged over 200% year-on-year, and the company's stock price reached its peak in February 2020, gaining more than four times in approximately one year and one month. However, the company's performance subsequently began declining year-on-year, turning to significant losses in 2022, with some recovery in recent years. The stock price also fell dramatically, with the maximum decline reaching nearly 90%.
As of the close on August 25, Shenzhen Goodix Technology's total market capitalization stood at 38.21 billion yuan.
