SINOPHARM's stock plummeted 5.05% during intraday trading on Monday, following the release of the company's first-quarter 2026 financial results.
The decline was triggered by disappointing quarterly figures that showed both revenue and profit contraction. Sinopharm reported total operating revenue of RMB 140.77 billion for Q1 2026, representing a 0.63% year-over-year decrease. More significantly, net profit attributable to shareholders fell 2.95% to RMB 1.41 billion, with basic earnings per share dropping to RMB 0.45 from RMB 0.47 in the same period last year.
Further analysis reveals broader weakness in the company's performance, including a narrowed gross margin and soft results across key subsidiaries. The medical equipment arm reported a steep 20.41% decline in operating profit, while operating cash flow deteriorated significantly. These results disappointed investors, leading to the stock hitting a six-month low during the session.
