HTSC (stock code: 06886) shares plummeted 5.08% in Friday's trading session following the release of its unaudited third-quarter results for 2025. The significant drop in stock price comes as the company reported a substantial decrease in quarterly net profit, disappointing investors.

According to the financial report, HTSC's net profit attributable to shareholders for the third quarter stood at RMB5.18 billion, reflecting a 28.11% decrease compared to the same period last year. This sharp decline in profitability likely triggered the sell-off, despite the company reporting a slight increase of 1.69% in net profit for the first three quarters, which totaled RMB12.73 billion.

While HTSC's total assets grew by 25.98% to RMB1.03 trillion since the end of 2024, and the company maintained compliance with all risk control indicators, the significant drop in quarterly earnings has overshadowed these positive aspects. Investors appear to be concerned about the company's ability to maintain growth in the face of challenging market conditions, as evidenced by the 88.89% decrease in net cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
