Despite an increase in its debt-to-equity ratio from 1% to 7.2% over five years, it remains financially sound with more cash than total debt and high-quality earnings reported consistently. Recent events include a CNY6 dividend per ten shares approved during their latest extraordinary meeting in November 2025.

Its price-to-earnings ratio stands at 17.1x, which is attractive compared to the broader CN market’s 49.1x.
