A-share companies report higher revenue and profits in first three quarters
By October 28, 3,490 companies listed on China’s A-share market had reported results for the first three quarters of 2026.
Together, they recorded revenue of 25.37 trillion yuan, up 8.55% year on year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of 1.96 trillion yuan, up 11.53%.
Profits grew faster than revenue, which the figures indicate alongside improved cash-flow quality.
Companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen main boards made up 86.16% of reported net profit, while 280 companies on the Shanghai STAR Market reported revenue growth of 28.92% and profit growth of 59.32%.
Technology and advanced manufacturing were key growth areas, including electronics, power equipment, industrial automation and artificial intelligence.
For example, AI chip companies Hygon Information and Cambricon reported revenue growth of 57.58% and 106.76%, respectively.
The results point to gains from industrial upgrading and innovation, as orders, product sales and research spending rose in several sectors; analysts say this supports confidence in the market, though no specific next step is given.
