SMOORE INTL recently released its first-quarter results, showing revenue of RMB 3.856 billion, a year-on-year increase of 41.7%. Adjusted profit for the period was RMB 347 million, up 10.7% compared to the same period last year. Huatai Securities noted that the company's revenue and profit performance in the first quarter of 2026 were strong, primarily due to the ongoing recovery of its core vaping business and the rapid scaling of its new heated tobacco product operations.
