Fosun International (FOSUF) has released its 2025 interim results, showcasing steady growth in its core businesses and significant strategic moves. The company reported total revenue of RMB87.28 billion and profit attributable to owners of RMB661.2 million, with its four core subsidiaries generating RMB63.61 billion in revenue, representing 73% of total revenue [1].

Historically, FOSUF’s stock has exhibited mixed reactions to earnings releases, reflecting both optimism and volatility. A backtest of its performance from 2022 to the present reveals that while some earnings reports triggered sharp gains—such as a 4.59% rise on August 8, 2024—others led to declines, including a 2.31% drop on November 7, 2024. Despite this variability, the stock demonstrated an upward trend from its August 9, 2024, low to an August 13, 2025, high, with the latter closing 3.43% above the prior day’s price. These patterns underscore the importance of balancing short-term market noise with long-term fundamentals.



One of the key highlights was the RMB3.6 billion investment in technology and innovation, which saw significant breakthroughs in innovative drugs, particularly HLX43's global Phase II clinical trials. Overseas revenue reached RMB46.67 billion, accounting for 53% of total revenue. The company maintained a healthy debt ratio of 53% and received a "Stable" outlook from S&P [1].

Notable achievements include Fosun Pharma's 38.96% profit growth, Fosun Insurance Portugal's 27.6% net profit increase, and FTG's record business volume of RMB9.53 billion with 42% adjusted net profit growth year-on-year [1].

Fosun International also completed the sale of its 99.743% stake in German private bank Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank AG (HAL) for EUR670 million, delivering a double-digit internal rate of return (IRR) for the company [2]. While divesting HAL's banking business, Fosun retains full ownership of Hauck & Aufhäuser Fund Services S.A. (HAFS), its valuable asset servicing business that manages over EUR100 billion in assets across Luxembourg, Ireland, and German-speaking regions [2].

Fosun International's FTSE Russell ESG rating was upgraded to 3.9 in 2025, surpassing both the global industry average of 2.6 and the national average of 2.0. The company secured perfect scores of 5.0 in Environmental Supply Chain, Anti-Corruption, and Risk Management. Fosun has maintained its position in the FTSE4Good Index Series for four consecutive years and holds notable ratings including an MSCI ESG rating of AA, HSI ESG rating of AA-, and ranks in the top 5% among global peers in S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment [3].

In addition, Fosun International received five prestigious awards from Corporate Governance Asia, including recognition for its Co-CEOs and corporate sustainability efforts. Executive Directors and Co-CEOs Chen Qiyu and Xu Xiaoliang were both honored with Asia's Best CEO awards, while the company secured the Sustainable Asia Award 2025, Best Environmental Responsibility Award, and Best Corporate Communications Award [4].

Fosun International has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable development by releasing its 2024 ESG Report and third Climate Information Disclosures Report. The company has established concrete climate goals, aiming to peak carbon emissions by 2028 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Notable achievements include completing a USD888 million sustainability-linked syndicated loan and maintaining LEED Platinum certification for the Bund Finance Center in Shanghai [5].

Fosun International's strong financial performance and strategic moves position it well for future growth. The company plans to increase investments in key sectors including biopharmaceuticals, cultural tourism, insurance, and healthcare, while pursuing its goal of achieving RMB10 billion in annual profits [1].
