Lenovo Group's stock plummeted 5.66% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting investor disappointment with the company's latest financial results.

The sharp decline followed Lenovo's announcement of fiscal third-quarter results showing profit attributable to equity holders fell 21% to $546 million from $693 million a year earlier. Earnings per share came in at $0.039, compared with $0.0535 in the prior-year quarter, though this exceeded analysts' estimate of $0.03 per share.

Despite revenue growth of 18% to $22.20 billion, which surpassed the $21.1 billion forecast by analysts, the significant profit contraction appears to have driven the stock's downward movement as investors weighed the company's profitability challenges against its top-line performance.
