As a listed company, Haitian Soy Sauce is really so careless about hygiene. As for the maggots in soy sauce, the explanation given by seafood soy sauce is that the company has undergone strict sterilization and high temperature filtration during the production process, and it is impossible to have maggots in the bottle. The answer to why maggots appear in seafood soy sauce is that consumers have improperly preserved it during use, which has attracted flies to lay eggs and give birth to maggots in it. Many consumers agree with this explanation, but some netizens are still skeptical.
However, the sluggish stock price of Haitian soy sauce has little to do with this maggot incident. At the beginning of this month, the stock price of seafood flavor industry rose sharply, once surpassing 2 yuan, and its market value reached 65 billion yuan. Soon after, the stock price of Haitian Weiye suddenly plunged and continued to decline. As of today's close, Haitian Weiye's share price is 157 yuan per share, with a total market value of 58.75 billion yuan. Compared with the previous market value of 65 billion yuan, the market value of Haitian Weiye has evaporated by over 1 billion yuan. Judging from the semi-annual report released in the first half of this year, Haitian Weiye's performance is still good. In the first half of this year, it achieved revenue of 11.595 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.12%, and the net profit attributable to listed companies was 3.253 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.27%.
