Group 1: Shareholder Actions - Gongniu Group's major shareholder, Xueping Ruan, announced a plan to sell approximately 36.17 million shares, valued at over 1.6 billion yuan, due to personal financial needs [7][8]. - This is not the first time Xueping Ruan has significantly reduced his stake in the company; a previous sell-off occurred in July 2023, where he sold shares worth 1.626 billion yuan [10][11]. - The Ruan brothers collectively hold 84.76% of Gongniu Group's shares, indicating a high concentration of ownership [8]. Group 2: Stock Buyback Efforts - Gongniu Group recently completed a stock buyback of 5.036 million shares, totaling 250 million yuan, in an attempt to stabilize its stock price [17][19]. - Despite the buyback, the company's stock price continued to decline, dropping from a high of 51.22 yuan per share to a low of 43.74 yuan [17][19]. - Previous buyback efforts in late 2022 also failed to maintain stock price momentum, as significant sell-offs followed shortly after [19]. Group 3: Financial Performance - Gongniu Group's revenue and net profit both declined in the first half of the year, marking the first time in five years that the company experienced a dual decline [26][28]. - Revenue fell by 2.6% year-on-year, while net profit decreased by 8.0%, with the second quarter showing even steeper declines of 7.37% and 17.16%, respectively [27][28]. - The core business segments, including electrical connections and smart electrical lighting, also saw revenue declines, while the new energy segment grew by 33.52%, but its revenue of 386 million yuan was insufficient to offset losses from other segments [27][28].
