How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

To properly understand Tianjin Chase Sun PharmaceuticalLtd's profit results, we need to consider the CN¥156m gain attributed to unusual items. We can't deny that higher profits generally leave us optimistic, but we'd prefer it if the profit were to be sustainable. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Tianjin Chase Sun PharmaceuticalLtd had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to September 2024.
