近日，两面针发布2025年第一季度财报。相比起2024年全年营收利润双增长的业绩表现，两面针2025年 第一季度的表现不尽人意。 南都·湾财社记者通过对比两面针2024年年报和2025年一季度财报发现，无论是营利双增的2024年财 报，还是净利润出现亏损的一季度财报，其业绩的变动很大程度上并非受到核心主业的影响，其业 绩"变脸"的核心更多是指向了金融资产公允值的波动。 两面针归母净利润环比大降 此外，从两面针的产品毛利率来看，两面针贡献主要营收的日化板块毛利率仅为13.84%，较行业龙头 存在显著差距。对比来看，云南白药工业销售毛利率达65.93%，舒克牙膏母公司薇美姿2020年毛利率 亦超60%。 对于业绩的异常表现，两面针不仅对2025年一季度的财报中解释称，主要是因为所持有的股票公允价值 变动损益较去年同期下降所致，两面针此前在2024年年度财报中也提到，业绩的增长，更多的也是受到 公司持有的交易性金融资产公允价值变动上升影响。 业绩大幅度受金融资产变动影响 2025年一季度，两面针实现营收2.40亿元，同比增长15.49%，但归母净利润亏损同比扩大至1416.95万 元，去年同期为亏损1274.52万 ...
