How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

Importantly, our data indicates that Tianjin Ringpu Bio-TechnologyLtd's profit received a boost of CN¥176m in unusual items, over the last year. 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 crunched the numbers on thousands of publicly listed companies, we found that a boost from unusual items in a given year is often not repeated the next year. Which is hardly surprising, given the name. We can see that Tianjin Ringpu Bio-TechnologyLtd's positive unusual items were quite significant relative to its profit in the year to December 2023. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items are making its statutory profit significantly stronger than it would otherwise be.
