DuPont China is suspected of violating antitrust law and has been investigated by the State Administration for Market Regulation—what are the specifics?

Large-scale textile manufacturing is the cornerstone of a modern nation: everyone is inescapably tied to clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Without large-scale textile manufacturing, there would be no foundational basis for the economy. Though apparel manufacturing is often perceived as a low-margin industry, high-value-added brands—and the broader ecosystem of related industries—originate from the fiber sector. It is hoped that, in the future, large-scale textile manufacturing will break free from the current paradigm of global industrial relocation, achieving a balanced integration of high-, mid-, and low-end segments to establish a comprehensive, all-encompassing textile industry. According to DuPont China’s official website, its key products include fabrics, fibers and nonwovens, packaging materials and solutions, solar solutions, personal protective equipment (PPE), aqueous solutions, and building solutions—serving sectors such as automotive, construction, energy, government and public services, defense, law enforcement, packaging, and printing. Combined reports from Hong Kong media indicate that U.S.-based DuPont established DuPont China Group Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen in 1988—the first wholly foreign-owned investment company registered on the Chinese mainland. Since then, DuPont has set up 39 wholly owned and joint-venture enterprises across mainland China, employing approximately 6,000 people, with cumulative investments exceeding USD 800 million. Moreover, mainland China is also one of DuPont’s most important revenue sources. According to DuPont’s 2024 financial report, mainland China ranks as the company’s second-largest revenue contributor after the United States. From 2022 to 2024, DuPont’s China-region revenues amounted to USD 2.744 billion, USD 2.206 billion, and USD 2.345 billion, accounting for 21%, 18%, and 19% of the group’s total revenue during those respective years.

Why does a listed company’s stock price plummet even as its profits rise?

Have you considered whether the stock had already surged previously? Have you considered whether its profits can continue growing going forward? Have you considered whether the industry is about to hit bottom and enter a downward trend? ······ If you insist on asking how stock price movements relate to corporate operations, I’ll tell you: they’re unrelated—at least over the short term. Stock price fluctuations bear no direct relationship to earnings changes in the near term. But if you extend the timeframe to ten years—or longer—the correlation becomes extremely strong. If a company’s profits are poised to increase tenfold over the long term—not due to one-off events or accidental gains—then even if its stock currently trades at a bull-market peak with an astronomical valuation (e.g., hundreds of times earnings), a 2–3-fold price increase remains highly probable. Conversely, if the stock has risen continuously amid a bull-market peak, and then delivers an earnings report showing 100% profit growth, a 50% price decline over the subsequent period is entirely plausible. The most immediate factor influencing short-term stock price movements is simply the balance between buying and selling pressure—that is, supply and demand in economic terms.
