What happened
Feilu announced a private placement plan on September 2, 2026, to issue shares to its controlling shareholder, Juntuo Qihang, raising between 350 million and 450 million yuan to replenish working capital and repay loans.
The new controlling shareholder took control in July, increased its stake in August, and completed a board overhaul by the end of August, followed by this full underwriting of the placement.
The placement could raise Juntuo Qihang's stake from 11.73% to 32.1% if the maximum number of shares is issued.
Why it matters
The move aims to address Feilu's high debt levels and financial strain, as the company has posted losses in recent years and faces significant interest expenses.
This is Feilu's first fundraising in nearly four years, following a previous project that underperformed, raising questions about capital use efficiency.
The controlling shareholder's parent company, a specialized electronics firm, may seek to expand Feilu's business into military and other sectors, signaling a strategic pivot.
Key facts
Feilu's debt-to-asset ratio was 69.11%, 76.34%, and 72.92% for 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, short-term and long-term borrowings plus non-current liabilities due within one year totaled about 556 million yuan, accounting for 56.48% of total liabilities.
The company's net losses were 140 million yuan in 2024, 218 million yuan in 2025, and 22.4898 million yuan in the first half of 2026.
The previous private placement in 2022 raised about 110 million yuan, but the project it funded incurred cumulative losses of 15.9524 million yuan from 2024 to the first half of 2026, with capacity utilization at only 10.49% as of June 2026.
