Woge Optoelectronics' actual controller and a shareholder holding more than 5 percent, along with related parties, face proposed fines totaling 2.5 million yuan for false records in share transfer information disclosures.

Weishi Electronics expects a net loss attributable to shareholders of 48 million to 55.68 million yuan for the first half of 2026, with a net loss after deducting non-recurring items of 48.5 million to 56.3 million yuan, swinging from profit to loss year on year. The company said the main reasons for the loss include high fixed cost allocation as new production lines at a subsidiary ramp up, adverse impact from exchange rate movements on profit, and declining product prices amid intensifying industry competition that dragged down gross margin. The company's net profit attributable to shareholders has already fallen for two consecutive years, dropping 52.56 percent in 2024 and 60.35 percent in 2025, while gross margin slid from 18.35 percent in 2022 to 11.10 percent in 2025. As of the close on July 27, Weishi Electronics traded at 12.52 yuan per share, with its stock price down 32.07 percent so far this year.

Weishi Electronics disclosed its earnings forecast, expecting a net loss attributable to the parent of 48 million to 55.68 million yuan in the first half of 2026, compared to a profit of 19.4808 million yuan in the same period last year. The net loss after deducting non-recurring items is expected to be 48.5 million to 56.3 million yuan, versus a profit of 10.9419 million yuan a year earlier. The company attributed the loss mainly to higher fixed cost allocation as new production lines at a subsidiary ramp up capacity utilization, adverse impact from exchange rate fluctuations on profit, and a decline in gross margin due to lower product unit prices amid intensifying industry competition. Weishi Electronics is primarily engaged in the research, development and sales of backlight display modules, liquid crystal display modules and other products, forming a layout centered on automotive displays with diversified development in consumer electronics.
