Want Want stock (ISIN KYG9431R1039) was last at HKD 2.71 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 4:08 p.m. HKT, down 1.28 percent from the prior close. The company repurchased 2.45 million shares for HKD 6.677 million on the same date, according to GMT EIGHT.

Buyback meets weaker earnings

The share repurchase provides the immediate company event, but the operating figures point to a more mixed picture. Want Want's June 2026 quarter generated CNY 13,292.87 million in revenue and CNY 2,119.64 million in net income, according to Investing.com.

Compared with the year-ago quarter, revenue increased from CNY 11,107.79 million to CNY 13,292.87 million, while net income rose from CNY 1,717.43 million to CNY 2,119.64 million. The figures make sales growth the stronger part of the latest reported quarter.

Revenue grows while margins face pressure

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, revenue rose 3.8 percent to RMB 24,400.7 million, while profit attributable to equity holders fell 11.5 percent to RMB 3,837.1 million, according to EdgeChat. The contrast between the 3.8 percent revenue increase and the 11.5 percent profit decline leaves cost control as a central operating issue.

Want Want operates in the packaged-foods sector and generates most of its business in mainland China. Its product mix includes dairy and beverages, rice crackers and snack foods, while the fiscal 2026 gross margin was 46.3 percent, according to the same reported company figures.
