In the third quarter alone, their net profits attributable to parent companies jumped 29.61 percent year on year, accelerating from the 10.45 percent growth recorded in the second quarter.

These companies saw their operating revenues increase about 20 percent year on year to hit 2.42 trillion yuan (333.5 billion U.S. dollars) in the January-September period, and their net profits attributable to parent companies climbed almost 10 percent to top 200 billion yuan.

Despite unvorable ctors like exchange rate fluctuations, COVID-19 resurgences and rising commodity prices, ChiNext-listed companies witnessed a rebound in profitability in the first three quarters, with high-end manucturers growing particularly well, the stock exchange said.
