The company's performance marked a significant turnaround from the previous year, catching investors' attention and driving the stock's upward movement.

The financial report revealed substantial improvements across key metrics. JF SmartInvest's revenue soared by 134% compared to the first half of 2024, reaching CN¥2.10 billion.

This remarkable shift resulted in a profit margin of 40%, a stark contrast to the previous year's loss.

Earnings per share (EPS) also saw a dramatic improvement, rising to CN¥1.96 from a loss of CN¥0.40 in the same period last year. The company's strong performance and return to profitability appear to have boosted investor confidence, leading to the significant stock price increase.
