What happened

On the evening of September 4, Snowman Group (002639) announced that its shares were considered abnormally traded because the cumulative deviation of closing prices across September 2, 3 and 4 exceeded 20%.

The company said the sharp short-term stock rally deviates from its current earnings performance and urged investors to be cautious about investment risks.

Its 2026 semi-annual report showed operating revenue rose 27.60% to 1.225 billion yuan, but net profit attributable to shareholders fell 76.99% to 6.1887 million yuan, while non-GAAP net profit turned negative at minus 1.3653 million yuan.

Why it matters

The stock's double-digit rally in just three days contrasts sharply with a half-year report showing lower margins, a big profit drop and a non-GAAP operating loss, signaling a possible disconnect between market sentiment and fundamentals.

The company explicitly points to intensifying competition, rising raw-material costs, exchange-rate pressure and uncertainty at a subsidiary, suggesting the earnings strain may persist unless those factors ease.
