Gansu Longshenrongfa Pharmaceutical Industry Co Ltd

In this morning's session, Zhongyan Technology shares saw wild swings, opening at the daily limit-up before heavy volume broke the board and sent the stock plunging straight down, briefly hitting the daily limit-down during the session in a classic limit-up to limit-down reversal. As of the midday break, the stock traded at 18.30 yuan, down 6.44 percent, with half-day turnover of 486 million yuan. The market widely attributes the recent volatility to the company's announcement of plans to acquire a 60 percent stake in Shenzhen Xinhuan Yu Jinggong Technology through cash purchase and capital increase, though the company subsequently disclosed that the transaction is subject to significant uncertainty. On the broader market, A-shares opened sharply higher on weekend policy tailwinds, with the baijiu sector leading the gains. Gujing Gongjiu hit the daily limit-up, while Kweichow Moutai rose 5.58 percent by midday after the company announced it would raise the retail price of its 53 percent ABV 500 milliliter Feitian Moutai on the iMoutai platform to 1,639 yuan per bottle starting July 18. The traditional Chinese medicine sector also followed through to strengthen, with Longshen Rongfa touching the 20 percent daily limit-up during the session.

The State Council has approved in principle the Traditional Chinese Medicine Revitalization and Development 15th Five-Year Plan, igniting the TCM sector. On July 13, Longshen Rongfa hit the 20 percent daily limit up, Shanghai Kaibao and Biotech Valley surged over 10 percent, Tianmu Pharmaceutical hit the daily limit up, and many other stocks rose in sympathy. CITIC Securities believes that the cliff-like drop in upstream precious medicinal material prices has shed the cost burden, the midstream destocking cycle is nearing its end, and cost savings will flow through to the income statement. The current moment is the optimal window for contrarian positioning in the profit recovery inflection point of the TCM OTC sector. China Post Securities noted that branded TCM companies have stable cash flows, and high-dividend TCM firms are trading at historically reasonable or low valuations, offering allocation appeal in a low-interest-rate environment. It suggests paying attention to names such as Dong-E-E-Jiao, Jumpcan Pharmaceutical, and China Resources Jiangzhong.

Star-net Ruijie shot straight up after the open and hit its daily limit up within two minutes, marking its sixth limit-up board in ten trading days. The company expects net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company for the first half of 2026 to be between 310 million and 430 million yuan, representing year-on-year growth of 46.27 percent to 102.90 percent. The increase is mainly due to a substantial rise in data centre switch business from its subsidiary serving internet clients, as well as higher fair value gains from an industry fund and increased equity transfer income. On the news front, institutional research notes point out that AI data centre switches are entering a triple resonance of demand surge, speed upgrades, and domestic substitution, with the adoption rate of domestic switches expected to rise.
