All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — its annual and interim reports, in CNY as reported (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle).

Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.

growth rates, valuation multiples & ratios computed by tradmap. Valuation uses each month-end price
against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
