Origin Agritech shares up 15% after hours on improved liquidity, R&D expansion, and new partnerships.

Origin Agritech surged 15% in after-hours trading following the release of its SEC 8-K filing, which highlighted an 89% year-over-year increase in cash reserves despite a 90% revenue decline in fiscal 2025. The report attributed the revenue drop to strategic facility upgrades and expanded R&D efforts, while emphasizing improved liquidity and financing activities as catalysts for future growth. Investors appeared to focus on the company’s long-term positioning through new product launches and partnerships, outweighing near-term financial underperformance. The after-hours rally suggests market optimism about the firm’s recovery trajectory and operational restructuring.
