Year-to-date, the stock has shown a robust gain of 13.77%, outperforming the China Shanghai Composite, which has risen by 3.22%. However, the three-year performance indicates a decline of 20.44%, contrasting sharply with the market's 25.05% increase. Despite the recent downturn, Haohua Chemical has demonstrated strong financial metrics, including a return on equity of 8.40% and a high dividend yield of 0.68%. The company reported net sales growth of 20.52% for the first nine months, alongside a significant reduction in raw material costs. These factors contribute to its large-cap status in the specialty chemicals industry, with a market capitalization of CNY 38,130 million.
