The Shanghai-based company, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under ticker 1525, has maintained consistent profitability with net margins around 21% and earnings growth averaging 8% annually over the past five years. While Q1 2025 revenue dipped slightly by 0.3% year-over-year to 267 million CNY, quarterly improvements in margins and core education services supported overall strength. Dividends have been paid biannually, with a forward yield of about 7-8%, attracting income-focused investors.[5][11][6]
