Zhengzhou Coal Industry & Electric Power Co., Ltd. experienced a significant decline today, with the stock dropping by 7.46% as it reached an intraday low of CNY 4.81.

Financial metrics indicate that the company is grappling with high debt levels, reflected in a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.44. Additionally, the company reported a net profit of CNY -158.24 million, marking a significant drop. The return on equity stands at a modest 1.62%, highlighting ongoing financial pressures.
