Super Investor Zhang Jianping's Exit from Zhongji Innolight Examined

Famed investor Zhang Jianping was "passively" pushed out of the top-ten shareholder list at Zhongji Innolight Co (SZSE: 300308). According to company disclosures, both the ninth and tenth largest shareholders each hold more shares than Zhang's 5.9348 million shares reported in the half-year report. Even if Zhang maintained his position after June 30, he would still be squeezed from the list. Guosheng Securities notes that the substantial order backlogs at Zhongji Innolight and Eoptolink Technology provide solid material support for sustained shipments through the second half and next year.
