Jihua's losses widen as accounting scandal forces restatement

Regulator fines Jihua RMB 7 million for years of inflated revenue China's securities regulator fined Jihua RMB 7 million for disclosure violations, finding it inflated revenue by nearly RMB 10 billion from 2018 to 2021. This damages trust in the company's numbers and makes investors demand a bigger discount to hold the stock.
The fine and the scale of past accounting fraud are the core reason the stock is under pressure and directly answer what is driving it.
First-half loss widens to RMB 288 million as revenue falls 25% Jihua's first-half 2026 loss widened to RMB 288 million from RMB 79 million a year earlier, with revenue down about 25% and operating cash flow still negative. Weak demand from key customers and qualification issues are hurting sales, pushing the stock down.
The interim results show the underlying business is deteriorating, which is a fundamental driver of the stock's weakness.
Jihua restates 2018-2021 accounts after fraud finding Jihua will restate its 2018-2021 financial statements, correcting nearly RMB 10 billion in inflated revenue and a RMB 502 million profit overstatement in 2020. The restatement confirms past numbers were unreliable, keeping a cloud over the stock.
The restatement is a concrete consequence of the fraud and a new event that reinforces negative sentiment.
Jihua buys out knitting unit, but related-party dealings raise questions Jihua is paying RMB 99 million to take full ownership of Hubei Jihua Knitting, a small positive for control. But a separate related-party supply deal with its parent is set to jump 368%, raising concerns about dealings with affiliates while the company is losing money.
These transactions show both a modest positive step and governance concerns that affect how investors view the stock.

JMT's bad-debt pipeline revives as state stimulus lifts recovery hopes

NPL supply returns, Q3/Q4 profit seen improving Banks are again auctioning bad-debt portfolios after a long lull, giving JMT more to buy. The CEO says Q3 2026 earnings should beat Q2, with possible lower bad-loan provisions as borrowers repay better. More supply means more future income.
This is the core new operational driver: rising NPL supply directly feeds JMT's debt-buying and future collections.
Government stimulus supports debtors' ability to pay Thailand's 57.5-billion-baht stimulus, including bigger welfare-card allowances and the Thai Chuay Thai Plus co-payment, puts cash in consumers' hands. Broker KSS names JMT a beneficiary because better household finances mean debtors are more likely to repay, lifting collections.
It explains a new external force that improves JMT's collection rates and was explicitly cited by a broker as a reason to own the stock.
Broker raises target to 13 baht, sees best quarter ahead ASL Securities keeps a Buy rating and 13-baht target, saying Q4 2026 could be the year's best quarter as collections accelerate and NPL supply rises. JMT also raised its debt-purchase budget to 2 billion baht, aiming for a portfolio near 600 billion baht.
It shows analyst conviction and a concrete budget increase that signals management expects growth, both supporting the share price.
Weak first-half profit and lower Q2 weigh on sentiment JMT's Q2 2026 profit fell 5% from a year earlier and first-half profit dropped 15.7%, with collection flat and its JK AMC unit weaker. That is a real counterweight: the recovery story depends on the second half actually delivering.
It provides the honest counterbalance — recent results are still soft, so the positive outlook is not yet proven.
