Stock Drops 2.97% as Investors Take Profits

Despite the strong financial report, the company's stock fell 2.97%, or RMB 6.400 per share, in the trading session following the announcement. The decline points to a 'sell the news' reaction, where the positive results were either fully anticipated by the market or failed to meet higher 'whisper' expectations.

Additionally, Dongpeng will issue 3 new shares for every 10 shares held, a distribution made from its capital reserve.
