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). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.

Source: SEC EDGAR / XBRL (annual and interim filings, reported in CNY) · prices EOD (Databento), split-adjusted; price return — dividends not reinvested · growth rates, valuation multiples & ratios computed by tradmap. Valuation uses each month-end price against the latest annual filing. Informational only — not investment advice.
