Hongfa's profit rises 20% but cash flow collapses; foreign buying cap stays
First-half profit up 19.89% Hongfa reported first-half 2026 net profit of 1.156 billion yuan, up 19.89% from a year earlier, on revenue of 11.022 billion yuan. Steady profit growth supports the stock because it shows the core relay business is still expanding and earning more.
This is the main new fundamental result for the period and directly supports the share price.
Operating cash flow plunges 86% Even as profit rose, cash actually collected from operations fell 86.33% to just 114 million yuan. That means profit is not turning into cash at the same pace, which can signal weaker collection or heavier inventory, and it is a real counterweight to the good headline number.
It is the clearest negative in the new earnings report and balances the profit-growth story.
Institutions raise their stake The top 10 institutional holders now own 56.65% of the company, up 1.77 percentage points from the prior quarter, with 128 institutions holding 62.38% in total. More institutional ownership suggests professional investors see value and can support the shares.
It shows a concrete shift in who owns the stock and points to rising institutional confidence.
