ZHAOWEI's stock fell 5.09% during intraday trading, extending its decline from the previous session. The drop comes as the company's recent financial performance failed to meet expectations built up during a prior rally driven by humanoid robot industry catalysts.
The company reported disappointing first-quarter results with revenue declining 2.74% year-over-year to RMB 357 million. Net profit attributable to shareholders dropped 25.15%, while non-GAAP net profit fell 31.89%, indicating significant earnings pressure. Additionally, exchange filings revealed that shareholder Park Hyeon Joo reduced holdings by 75,700 shares on May 21, totaling approximately HK$5.84 million.
Market analysis highlights a concerning mismatch between the stock's elevated valuations from the prior concept-driven rally and its actual quarterly performance. With a dynamic price-to-earnings ratio as high as 183 times, accounts receivable to profit ratio at 173.93%, and inventory up 9.35% year-over-year, the company faces near-term pressure on earnings quality and cash flow. This divergence between expectations and fundamentals has intensified profit-taking, sustaining the current correction.
