Operations: Golden Throat Holdings Group generates revenue primarily from its pharmaceuticals segment, amounting to CN¥1.01 billion.
Golden Throat Holdings, a smaller player in the Hong Kong market, shows a mixed financial picture. Despite a challenging year with earnings growth at -24.4%, its price-to-earnings ratio stands attractively at 8.4x, below the market average of 10x. The company has more cash than total debt and maintains high-quality past earnings, indicating sound financial health. Recent results for the half-year ending June 2024 showed sales of CNY 524 million and net income of CNY 134 million, reflecting steady performance compared to last year’s figures. Earnings per share rose slightly to CNY 0.1815 from CNY 0.1652 previously, suggesting modest progress despite broader industry challenges.

Shandong Xinhua Pharmaceutical, a smaller player in the Hong Kong market, shows a promising yet mixed financial landscape. The company's debt to equity ratio has improved significantly from 44.6% to 28.1% over five years, indicating better financial management. Although its earnings growth of 12.1% per year over five years is commendable, recent performance at 1.2% lags behind the industry average of 6.4%. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.7x below the market average and high-quality past earnings, it remains attractive for value seekers despite recent modest net income figures and dividend announcements reflecting stability rather than rapid growth potential.
