Key Focus Areas for Implementation - The SSE will focus on four main areas to ensure the smooth implementation of the new guidelines: 1. Maintaining the focus on supporting high-quality, unprofitable technology companies without imposing additional listing thresholds for them [5]. 2. Implementing a "new and old separation" for the delisting conditions of existing companies while raising the delisting criteria for newly registered unprofitable companies [5]. 3.

Core Viewpoint - The recent reforms in the Sci-Tech Innovation Board (STAR Market) have accelerated the review process for unprofitable companies, allowing them to be listed under specific conditions aimed at protecting investors while fostering innovation [1][2]. Group 1: Unprofitable Companies and Listing Standards - Several unprofitable companies have recently passed the review process, including He Yuan Bio and North Chip Life, indicating a shift in the regulatory environment [1]. - The new listing criteria categorize unprofitable companies into a "Sci-Tech Growth Layer," which requires them to achieve specific profit and revenue thresholds to move out of this category [1][2]. - Over the past six years, 54 unprofitable companies have been listed on the STAR Market, with 22 of them achieving profitability, resulting in a delisting rate of approximately 40% [1][2].

Group 3: Risks and Market Perception - The perception that profitable companies inherently carry lower investment risks is challenged by data showing that some profitable companies have also faced delisting risks due to low revenue [5][6]. - Companies like Jindike, which achieved profitability, have recently reported significant revenue declines, highlighting that profitability does not guarantee stability [5][6]. - The market tends to focus more on long-term value and product competitiveness rather than short-term profitability, especially in sectors like pharmaceuticals and technology [7][9].
