Home furnishing industry reshuffle: shell sales, cross-sector moves, and contrarian bets proceed in parallel

The home furnishing industry is undergoing unprecedented divergence, with at least 10 listed home furnishing companies seeking changes of control as of August 2026. The family of Xia Zhisheng, founder of Zhejiang Meida, transferred a 29.99% stake to cash out about 1.29 billion yuan, with the buyer being cross-border e-commerce firm XingShang Innovation. After the restructuring of ST Markor's controlling shareholder Markor Group, XiaoCi Investment acquired a 51% stake, and actual controller Li Shaofeng also controls communication component supplier WandeTai Optoelectronics. Elegant Home announced the acquisition of no less than 77.08% of semiconductor testing company O'Connell, after which its share price hit the daily limit for 10 consecutive sessions. Monalisa Home Furnishing spent 500 million yuan to enter generative artificial intelligence and changed its name to Monalisa Shuihua. Jason Furniture chose to double down on its core business instead, elevating mattresses to a strategic category. Its 2025 research and development expenses rose 31.19% year-on-year to 369 million yuan, and annual revenue exceeded 20 billion yuan for the first time, reaching 20.056 billion yuan. Shenwan Hongyuan and Guotai Haitong Securities both noted that concentration in the home furnishing industry remains low, and the bottoming-out reshuffle in the property sector is expected to accelerate share gains for leading players.

Yingfeng Group plans to issue 600 million yuan medium-term notes to repay loans for the acquisition of Kuka Home

Yingfeng Group plans to issue the second tranche of its 2026 medium-term notes, with an amount of 600 million yuan and a tenor of three years. The proceeds will mainly be used to repay financial institution loans taken by a subsidiary for the acquisition of Kuka Home and other working capital loans. The proportion used for the M&A transaction will be no less than 50 percent of the issuance amount. The registered amount for this medium-term note program is 4 billion yuan, with this tranche issuing 600 million yuan. As of the date of the prospectus, Yingfeng Group and its subsidiaries have outstanding bonds of 3.4 billion yuan and interest-bearing liabilities of 48.465 billion yuan, with 55.19 percent maturing within one year, indicating significant short-term repayment pressure. He Jianfeng, the actual controller of Yingfeng Group, has successively taken stakes in Kuka Home and Suofeiya since 2023. The acquisition of a 29.42 percent stake in Kuka Home cost a total of 8.88 billion yuan, of which bank loans accounted for 5.041 billion yuan, with the current loan balance at 5.012 billion yuan. Yingfeng Group plans to increase its stake in Kuka Home through a private placement of approximately 1.997 billion yuan, after which its total controlled shareholding will rise to 37.39 percent. The private placement has not yet been completed.
