Leyard Optoelectronic Hits Day Low at CNY 7.54 Amid Price Pressure

Leyard Optoelectronic Co., Ltd. experienced a notable decline today, with the stock dropping by 4.4% on March 23, 2026. The stock reached an intraday low of CNY 7.54, reflecting a challenging trading environment. Over the past week, Leyard has seen a significant decrease of 14.11%, contrasting with the China Shanghai Composite's decline of 6.65%. In terms of longer-term performance, Leyard's one-year return stands at -5.23%, underperforming the broader market, which has gained 13.33% during the same period. Despite a year-to-date performance of 20.41%, the company has faced difficulties, including a low Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 4.65%, indicating limited profitability relative to its capital. The company has reported a substantial growth in net profit of 101.09%, but this comes after a series of negative quarters. Additionally, raw material costs have decreased by 22.4% year-over-year, and cash reserves are at a high of CNY 5,647.74 million. However, the overall market position remains precarious, with Leyard's stock trading at a high dividend yield of 1.38% amidst ongoing financial challenges.
