Shares of Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. (HKG:02727) plunged by over 7.5% on Wednesday, November 1, after the power generation and electrical equipment manufacturer reported a significant drop in its third-quarter earnings.
According to the company's financial results, SH ELECTRIC's net profit attributable to shareholders fell by a staggering 32% year-over-year to 156.6 million yuan ($21.9 million) in the third quarter of 2024. This steep decline in profitability came despite a 5.7% increase in revenue during the same period, indicating that the company faced significant cost pressures or other issues impacting its profit margins.
The divergence between SH ELECTRIC's revenue growth and bottom-line decline caught investors off guard, leading to a substantial sell-off in the company's shares. Analysts and investors are expected to scrutinize the company's cost structure, operational efficiency, and potential headwinds in its key markets to better understand the factors behind the disappointing financial performance.
