Buyback and steady sales offset failed asset-injection deal
Failed share transfer ends asset-injection hopes The controlling shareholder's plan to sell 10% of the company for about 293 million yuan was terminated. Investors had hoped the buyers would inject new businesses like chips, so the stock fell back to 9.51 yuan, nearly erasing this year's gains. No operations or control changed.
This is the main negative force this period, removing a speculative catalyst that had driven the stock up.
Company plans large share buyback Xinhua Department Store will spend 200–400 million yuan of its own money to buy back shares at up to 12.78 yuan each, for employee incentives. Buybacks can support the stock price by reducing shares outstanding and signaling management confidence.
This is a new, concrete positive capital action that directly supports the share price.
Buyback already underway, 104 million yuan spent By September 29, the company had repurchased 9.68 million shares, or 3.065% of total shares, for 104 million yuan at prices between 9.9 and 11.58 yuan. This shows the buyback is being executed, which can help put a floor under the stock.
It confirms the buyback is real and progressing, reinforcing the positive capital signal.
Sales grow but profit falls First-half revenue was 3.264 billion yuan, but net profit fell 20.25% year on year to 68.59 million yuan. The company runs 327 stores and is expanding in the northwest, yet weaker profit shows cost or margin pressure, a real counterweight to the buyback news.
It gives the fundamental backdrop: top-line stability but declining earnings, which limits how much the stock can rise.
