Entering 2026, the first-quarter revenue reached 25.75 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 34.5%, with a net profit attributable to shareholders of 750 million yuan.

The reversal of profitability for some companies is an unavoidable issue in the annual reports. Chongqing Zhifei Biological Products Co.,Ltd. (Zhifei Bio) reported 2025 revenue of 8.958 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of approximately 66%; net profit attributable to shareholders was -14.723 billion yuan, marking the first annual loss since its listing, averaging a daily loss of about 40 million yuan, making it the "Loss King" among A-share pharmaceutical companies in 2025. The 2026 Q1 report shows its inventory has decreased to 3.5 billion yuan, and it is advancing destocking and transformation.

Losses for companies like Chongqing Iron & Steel, Chongqing Construction Engineering Group, *ST Zhongdi, Zhixiang Jintai, and Merit were mainly due to significant profit contraction in the construction and real estate sectors.

Notably, R&D investment has become a generally increased rigid indicator for Chongqing listed companies. Seres Group Co.,Ltd. (SERES) spent 7.95 billion yuan on R&D for the full year, Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited (Changan Auto) spent 7.16 billion yuan, and Chongqing Zhifei Biological Products Co.,Ltd. (Zhifei Bio) still invested 932 million yuan in R&D despite massive losses. By the end of 2025, the added value of Chongqing's strategic emerging industries accounted for 36.3% of the total, and the core digital economy industry's added value accounted for approximately 10% of GDP. "Exchanging R&D for growth" is becoming the core path for Chongqing enterprises to write a new chapter in high-quality development.

**Expert Commentary: Chongqing Annual Reports Release Three Signals: New Quality Productive Forces Accelerate, Consumption and Finance Stabilize, Transition Pains Await Resolution** "Through the 2025 annual reports of Chongqing listed companies, we can clearly see that Chongqing's economy is undergoing a profound structural transformation," said Huang Xiaoning. On one hand, new energy vehicle leaders represented by Seres Group Co.,Ltd. (SERES) and Chongqing Changan Automobile Company Limited (Changan Auto), as well as high-end motorcycle enterprises like Loncin Motor, are leading the leap from "Chongqing Manufacturing" to "Chongqing Intelligent Manufacturing". Continuous R&D investment is being transformed into growth momentum, accelerating the formation of new quality productive forces. On the other hand, the consumption and financial sectors have demonstrated strong resilience, becoming the ballast for regional economic stability.

He noted that losses at companies like Chongqing Zhifei Biological Products Co.,Ltd. (Zhifei Bio) and Chongqing Iron & Steel also serve as a warning that the shift between old and new growth drivers inevitably comes with pains, and some industries are still in a critical period of destocking and structural adjustment. Overall, the polarization among Chongqing listed companies precisely reflects the vivid picture of industrial structure optimization and upgrading—only by adhering to innovation-driven development and accelerating transformation can they seize the initiative in the national high-quality development landscape.

Huang Xiaoning stated that from a city-wide perspective, the "33618" modern manufacturing cluster system has begun to show results. The trillion-yuan engine of the intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry is igniting and taking off, while the digital and intelligent transformation of traditional advantageous industries is also advancing simultaneously. In the future, Chongqing needs to further guide capital towards technological innovation, help struggling enterprises overcome difficulties and transform, while consolidating the supporting role of finance and consumption, allowing old and new growth drivers to form synergy and truly ignite the new engine of high-quality development.
