East Money lifted first-half net profit by 44.85 percent to CNY 8.064 billion, according to an East Money analysis published on September 12, 2026. The same report put revenue at CNY 10.505 billion, up 53.22 percent from the first half of 2025, giving the company a clear earnings-led news angle.

First-half growth broadens

The result was supported by stronger securities activity and fund distribution. Net profit for the second quarter reached CNY 4.327 billion, up 15.00 percent from the first quarter, while first-half net margin stood at 76.80 percent.

The revenue mix also shows why the earnings cycle is sensitive to market activity. Securities fees and commission income rose 54.80 percent in the first half, while net interest income increased 58.70 percent, according to the September 12 analysis.

What does the growth mean?

For East Money, the comparison points to operating leverage rather than a single exceptional quarter. Revenue growth of 53.22 percent exceeded the 27.00 percent increase in total costs reported for the first half, allowing profit to grow at a faster rate than sales.

The business combines online securities services, fund distribution, financial data and advertising. That structure gives East Money several revenue channels, but the same figures also tie performance to trading activity, margin financing demand and investor participation.

Shenzhen price remains below yearly high

East Money Information's Shenzhen-listed shares were at CNY 17.84 at 3:04 p.m. CST on October 12, 2026. The 52-week range was CNY 17.18 to CNY 26.79, while market capitalization stood at CNY 282.3 billion on the same date.

The current quote sits CNY 8.95 below the 52-week high, a 33.41 percent gap calculated against the CNY 26.79 high. The price therefore leaves the earnings figures as the central measure for assessing whether stronger activity is translating into sustained operating performance.

Quarterly figures set the baseline

Earlier, East Money reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of CNY 5.31 billion and net profit attributable to shareholders of CNY 3.738 billion, with profit up 37.67 percent year over year, according to GMT Eight on April 24, 2026. The first-half figures show a higher growth rate than that first-quarter comparison and provide the latest reported operating reference for the company.
