In a significant announcement made just before the presentation, Fosun reported a total revenue of RMB 86.96 billion, with profit attributable to the owners of the parent company reaching RMB 1.72 billion, reflecting an impressive year-on-year increase of 160.3%.

He acknowledged the importance of focusing on industries where Fosun has a competitive advantage, stating, "This integration will significantly strengthen our industrial operational capabilities and enhance future profitability, providing sustained momentum for Fosun’s long-term development."
Fosun International’s four central enterprises—Fosun Pharma, Yuyuan, Fosun Insurance Portugal (Fidelidade), and its tourism sector—collectively contributed 73.5% of total revenue, underscoring the robustness of these divisions.

He's noted that focus on core competencies is critical for weathering economic fluctuations while enhancing customer satisfaction across several demographic groups.
Fosun's commitment to innovation is evident in its significant investments in technology—a staggering RMB 4.2 billion was allocated to tech advancement during the first half of 2026, a 16.7% increase from the previous year. Co-CEO Chen Qiyu shared insights into Fosun’s operational strategy, which prioritizes addressing the needs of key markets including China, the U.S., and various emerging markets. This extensive scope encompasses drug discovery areas such as monoclonal antibodies and CAR-T therapies, showcasing Fosun’s dedication to an open innovation ecosystem.
Additionally, Xu Xiaoliang placed great importance on innovation-driven development as central to achieving high-quality operations, describing the multifaceted approach to innovation that encompasses R&D, processes, and production techniques.
From a financial perspective, CFO Gong Ping reported stable operating revenue alongside an improving revenue mix and enhanced profitability during the first half of 2026. Investors welcomed these findings as a sign of Fosun's ongoing recovery phase, alongside efforts to optimize asset quality and maintain a sound balance sheet amidst rising innovation investments.
Concluding the presentation, Guo Guangchang stressed the importance of maintaining a clear vision and purpose, indicating that while positive results were achieved, the ultimate goal of elevating annual profits to RMB 10 billion remains in sight.
