Newell Brands Raises 2026 Outlook After First Sales Growth in Four Years
Newell Brands reported its first year-over-year growth in both net sales and core sales in more than four years, sending its shares up 51.2% over the past six months. In the second quarter of 2026, net sales rose 3% year over year to approximately $2 billion and core sales grew 2.3%, while normalized EPS climbed to 42 cents from 24 cents a year ago, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 19 cents. The company raised its 2026 outlook to net sales growth of 1-2%, core sales growth of 0-1%, normalized operating margin of 10-10.4% and normalized EPS of $0.73-$0.77, up from a previous EPS outlook of $0.56-$0.60, with operating cash flow expected around $400 million. Newell expects to launch more than 25 Tier 1 and Tier 2 innovations during 2026, and six of its top 10 brands delivered year-over-year point-of-sale growth in the quarter, though the company still faces approximately $200 million of inflationary pressure for 2026 and elevated debt levels. The second-quarter results included approximately $126 million of pretax tariff recoveries, equivalent to about 21 cents per share, making the sustainability of underlying earnings growth a key consideration.

Aishida Flags Risk After Consecutive Limit-Ups, Embodied Intelligent Robot Project Still in Early Stage
Aishida issued a stock trading abnormality announcement after hitting the daily limit-up for two consecutive trading days, cautioning that its embodied intelligent robot cooperation project is still in its early stage, with sales revenue generated so far at only 137,200 yuan, and that technology iteration, project implementation, and commercialisation all remain uncertain. On September 3 and September 4, Aishida hit the daily limit-up both days, with the cumulative deviation in closing price gains over the two consecutive trading days exceeding 20 percent. As of the close on September 4, the share price stood at 11.28 yuan per share, giving a total market capitalisation of 3.842 billion yuan. The company's main business covers cookware, small home appliances, and industrial robots, and its industrial robot business will not have a material impact on the company's financial position and operating results for 2026. In the first half of 2026, the company's operating revenue was 1.351 billion yuan, with cookware and small home appliance business accounting for 84.46 percent of revenue and industrial robots accounting for 12.20 percent. In addition, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aishida signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Zhiyuan Innovation, planning to start with contract manufacturing of Zhiyuan Robotics' quadruped robot dogs, with the first robot dog product expected to roll off the production line in the fourth quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, the equipment procurement agreement between its controlling subsidiary Qianjiang Robot and Honglu Steel Structure is progressing more slowly than expected. The original plan called for purchasing 1,888 units, but only 920 units have actually been purchased, representing 49 percent. However, Aishida said the amount involved in the agreement accounts for a relatively low proportion of the company's revenue in the previous year and will not have a material adverse impact.

Aishida subsidiary and Honglu Steel Structure actually purchased 920 welding robots during the agreement period
Aishida Co., Ltd. announced that the Equipment Procurement Framework Cooperation Agreement signed between its controlling subsidiary Zhejiang Qianjiang Robot Co., Ltd. and Anhui Honglu Steel Structure Group Co., Ltd. expired on September 2, 2026. During the agreement period, Honglu Steel Structure actually purchased a total of 920 related industrial robot products, representing 49% of the originally planned 1,888 units. The fulfillment progress fell short of expectations because the customer adjusted its product planning in response to changes in the external market environment. Cooperation between the two parties is proceeding normally, with a certain procurement and delivery pace maintained every month, and they will continue to fulfill the framework agreement. The company stated that the amount involved accounts for a relatively low proportion of its revenue in the previous year, will not have a material adverse impact on operating performance or financial condition, and does not constitute a breach of contract.

Deli Shares 2026 Interim Report: PV Shutdown Drags, Losses Widen
Deli Shares released its 2026 interim report on August 30. The reporting period remained loss-making and the loss widened, with net profit attributable to the parent company at negative 57.38 million yuan, a year-on-year loss expansion of 26.63%. The company achieved operating revenue of 708 million yuan, down 8.12% year-on-year, and non-GAAP net profit of negative 58.94 million yuan, with the loss widening by 30.59%. The decline in performance was mainly affected by the export tax rebate rate being adjusted from 9% to 0%, rising costs caused by geopolitical factors, and the shutdown of the photovoltaic segment. Among these, subsidiary Bengbu Guangneng has temporarily halted its furnaces since January 2025, contributing no production or sales in the current period and generating a large loss. Although the Pakistani subsidiary remained profitable and international business revenue grew 3.93% year-on-year, it was difficult to fully offset the negative effects of the domestic main business and the photovoltaic segment. The company also made an inventory write-down provision of 18.34 million yuan, further eroding profits.

Supor Reports Declines in Revenue and Net Profit for First Half, Selling Expenses Rise for Years
Supor faced pressure in the first half of 2026, with operating revenue of 11.41 billion yuan, down 0.59 percent year-on-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of 868 million yuan, down 7.70 percent. The company's domestic sales business saw slight growth, but export sales declined due to reduced orders from major clients. Overall revenue changed little, while the profit decline was significantly larger than the revenue change. To cope with weak domestic consumer demand and intensifying industry competition, Supor continued to increase marketing investment. Selling expenses in 2025 reached 2.409 billion yuan, up 10.41 percent year-on-year. In the first quarter of this year, selling expenses were 646 million yuan, up 11.17 percent, accounting for 10.98 percent of total quarterly revenue. Meanwhile, the company's R&D investment ratio has long hovered around 2 percent, lower than the 3 to 4 percent levels of peers such as Bear Electric and Joyoung. Recently, Vice General Manager Ye Jide and Chief Financial Officer Xu Bo together reduced their holdings by 43,800 shares, cashing out approximately 1.8788 million yuan. In addition, since 2023, Supor's annual dividend payout ratio has exceeded 99 percent, with cumulative dividends over three years surpassing 6.5 billion yuan, of which more than 80 percent went into the pockets of its French shareholder, sparking market concerns about its long-term competitiveness.

Newell Brands Returns to Sales Growth, Raises Full-Year Outlook
Newell Brands reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $2 billion, a 3% increase from the prior year, marking the first year-over-year growth in both net and core sales in over four years. Core sales grew 2.3%, driven by broad-based improvement across five of six business units, with the U.S. market delivering 5% net sales growth for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Normalized gross margin reached 40.8%, up from 35.6% a year ago, primarily due to the recognition of a $100 million receivable for IEEPA tariff recoveries expensed in 2025, while normalized operating margin rose to 16.2% from 10.7%. Normalized diluted earnings per share were $0.42, compared with $0.24 in the prior year, including a $0.17 per share benefit from the 2025 tariff recoveries and a $0.04 per share benefit from first-quarter 2026 recoveries. The company raised its full-year 2026 guidance, now expecting net sales growth of 1% to 2%, core sales growth between flat and 1%, and normalized EPS of $0.73 to $0.77, while also projecting third-quarter net and core sales growth of 2% to 3% with normalized EPS between $0.18 and $0.20. CEO Chris Peterson attributed the turnaround to rebuilt commercial and operating capabilities, including a stronger innovation pipeline with more than 25 Tier 1 or Tier 2 launches planned for the year, distribution gains, and improved brand marketing, while CFO Mark Erceg noted that the company is offsetting $200 million in expected full-year inflation and $127 million in net tariff headwinds through productivity savings and the tariff recoveries.

Supor reports declines in both revenue and net profit for the first half, marketing misstep exposes growth anxiety
Supor released its semi-annual performance flash report for 2026, with first-half revenue reaching 11.41 billion yuan, down 0.59 percent year-on-year, and net profit attributable to the parent company at 868 million yuan, down 7.70 percent year-on-year. In the second quarter, the year-on-year decline in net profit attributable to the parent widened to 18.22 percent, indicating a significant loss of earnings momentum. The company's export business is heavily dependent on its controlling shareholder, France's SEB Group, with related-party transactions with SEB accounting for 93 percent of total export revenue in 2025. SEB's own performance pressure has led to shrinking orders. Meanwhile, in the first half, LME aluminum and copper prices rose by 3.66 percent and 7.70 percent respectively, rigidly pushing up raw material costs. Selling expenses, including advertising, promotions, and giveaways, increased from 1.553 billion yuan in 2022 to 1.938 billion yuan in 2025, while the research and development expense ratio remained at only around 2 percent, below the industry average, raising doubts about product competitiveness. Additionally, a near-full dividend payout model caused net assets to fall 19.65 percent year-on-year, with the high return on equity being passively driven up by the equity multiplier and asset turnover ratio. Around the time of the performance flash report disclosure, its official stores uploaded batches of AI-generated suggestive short videos to chase traffic, exposing a lack of marketing content control and traffic anxiety.
