Market Trends - The frozen baking sector, referred to as "pre-made dishes in baking," has been experiencing high industry demand, contributing to Lihigh Foods' performance [1][2]. - The rise of membership-based supermarkets and quality retail models has fueled the growth of the baking sector, benefiting suppliers like Lihigh Foods [3].

Core Insights - The core viewpoint of the articles highlights the rapid recovery of OFILM Technology Co., Ltd. in revenue due to the strong sales of Huawei's Mate and P series smartphones, as well as increased orders from Xiaomi and Honor, despite facing intense price competition among domestic smartphone manufacturers [1][2]. Financial Performance - In 2024, OFILM reported total revenue of 20.437 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.19%, while net profit attributable to shareholders was 58.38 million yuan, a decline of 24.09% [2]. - The company has recorded negative net profit for five consecutive years from 2020 to 2024, with a cumulative loss exceeding 9.9 billion yuan [2]. - Revenue from smartphone products increased significantly by 32.15% to 16.192 billion yuan, accounting for 79.23% of total revenue, with a gross margin rising nearly 3 percentage points to 11.44% [3][4].
