Rastar(SZ:300043) Xin Lang Zheng Quan·2025-11-26 02:46Core Viewpoint - Xinghui Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. is accelerating its return to core business after a decade of diversification, marked by the recent divestiture of the Espanyol football club and a planned share reduction by major shareholders, raising concerns about the company's future prospects [1][2]. Group 1: Share Reduction Plan Details and Market Reaction - Major shareholders Chen Yansheng and Chen Dongqiong plan to reduce their holdings by up to 36.0031 million shares, accounting for 2.90% of total equity, with an estimated cash-out of approximately 215 million yuan [2]. - The reduction period is set from December 16, 2025, to March 15, 2026, and will be executed through centralized bidding or block trading [2]. - Despite the reduction announcement, the company's stock price rose by 1.01% to 5.98 yuan, with a year-to-date increase of 65%, likely due to recent performance recovery and strategic adjustments [2]. Group 2: Strategic Shift and Financial Impact - The complete divestiture of the Espanyol club, sold for 130 million euros (approximately 1.083 billion yuan), marks the end of a ten-year venture into football, which had become a financial burden with cumulative losses of 442 million yuan from 2020 to 2024 [3]. - The sale is expected to contribute approximately 47.07 million yuan to the company's net profit, with total profit contributions reaching 150 million yuan when including pre-sale player transfer earnings [3]. - The company aims to refocus on its core gaming and toy businesses, increasing investment in AI technology applications [3]. Group 3: Challenges in Business Transformation - Despite a reported revenue increase of 84.58% to 1.135 billion yuan in the first half of 2025, the gaming business's sustainability is questioned, as 217 million yuan of this revenue came from non-recurring player transfer gains [4]. - Key gaming titles are struggling to cover promotional costs, with declining active user numbers and facing intense competition from major players like Alibaba and NetEase [4]. - The toy business remains stable but lacks significant growth, and the company faces financial pressure with only 120 million yuan in cash reserves, limiting its ability to compete in a "buying customers" environment [4].
