Additionally, the company has faced challenges in net sales and profit growth, with a reported decline in net sales of 17.49% and a net profit decrease of 31.32% for the half-year period ending September 25. With a market capitalization of CNY 6,854 million, Sichuan Huiyu operates within the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology sector.
