Xinhua Media opened at the daily limit-up on the morning of September 28, achieving five limit-up boards in five days. As of the midday close, the share price was 8.55 yuan per share, with a total market value of 8.9 billion yuan. The trigger for this rally was the company's planned major asset restructuring: on the evening of September 18, Xinhua Media disclosed a preliminary plan for asset acquisition and related-party transaction, proposing to purchase 100% equity of Jiemian Cailianshe by issuing shares to 13 counterparties including Shanghai United Media Group Culture New Media Investment Management Company. The company's shares resumed trading on September 21. In terms of shareholding structure, Shanghai United Media Group directly and indirectly holds 51.49% of Xinhua Media, and its wholly owned subsidiary Wenxin Investment holds 37.63% of Jiemian Cailianshe. Therefore, this transaction is expected to constitute a major asset restructuring and related-party transaction, but not a reverse merger. Before and after the transaction, the controlling shareholder of the company remains Shanghai United Media Group, and the actual controller remains the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, so it is not expected to cause a change in control of the company. On September 25, Xinhua Media announced that its stock price had risen by a cumulative deviation of more than 20% over three consecutive trading days on September 21, 22, and 23, and on September 24 the stock again closed at the daily limit-up price. The stock price has fluctuated sharply in the short term, and there may be irrational speculation. According to data published on the official website of China Securities Index Company as of September 23, 2026, the latest rolling price-to-earnings ratio for the company's industry classification, R86 News and Publishing, was 17.83, while the company's latest rolling price-to-earnings ratio was 172.86, significantly higher than the industry average.
