Original title: In the first three quarters, diversified layout of companies listed in profitable publications generally breaks development constraints

Beijing Business Daily (Reporter Lu Yang and Zheng Rui) With the promotion of national reading activities and the increasingly strong atmosphere of the book, the listed publishers have also caught the attention of more people and their attention has increased day by day. On October 31, a reporter for the Beijing Commercial Daily recounted third-quarter reports from 18 publicly traded companies and found that although the net earnings of different companies during the reporting period varied from year to year, they were generally profitable. Willingness to break development constraints and gain more space.

Data shows that in the first three quarters of this year, the net profit attributable to shareholders of these 18 listed publishers ranged from 10 million yuan to more than 1 billion yuan, and a total of 14 companies realized that were attributable to shareholders during the reporting period. The net profit of shareholders of listed companies is more than 100 million yuan, of which 7 companies have reached more than 500 million yuan.

Although the above companies are generally profitable, the increases and decreases in performance of different companies have their own ups and downs. Among them, a total of 12 listed publishers have achieved a year-on-year performance improvement, which represents 66.7%; the remaining 6 companies have decreased compared to the same period last year, and the reductions are mainly concentrated between 5% and 30%.

Senior editor Tang Yong said that compared with companies in the fields of film, television and games, the performance development of listed publishers is relatively stable and there are few obvious fluctuations. This is also related to the relatively flat development of the publishing industry itself. This year, although the appearance of a special period will have a certain impact on offline sales of related companies, it will have a lesser impact on online sales or layout, especially for companies dedicated to the digital publishing business. The industry has been affected by the suspension of development.

It is worth noting that at this stage, many publicly traded publishers seek diversified development to find greater development opportunities, stabilize and improve the stability of their own performance. Take Chinese Online as an example. Although the company started with digital publishing, at this stage it has expanded its business to more fields such as film and television, education and games, and aims to design “culture +” and “education +”. In the first three quarters of this year, Chinese Online’s operating income increased 28.37% year-over-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies increased 124.09% year-over-year, converting losses into profits due to “literary +” business during the reporting period. The company’s revenue increased significantly, resulting in a substantial increase in net profit compared to the same period last year.

At the same time, Yangtze Media is also expanding its own industrial chain, and while focusing on publishing, distribution, printing and trading of book materials, periodicals, newspapers, audiovisual products and electronic publications, it is gradually shifting to digital reading. . Online education, animation, film and television, cultural creativity, the health industry, investment financing and other fields are expanding. In the first three quarters of this year, operating income and net profit attributable to shareholders of Yangtze Media’s listed companies were 4.445 million yuan and 669 million yuan, respectively.

From the perspective of industry experts, the publishing industry plays more of a content producer role, thus having a greater potential for spin-off development around content. Tang Yong said that at present, many companies in the fields of games, film and television are seeking cooperation with content publishers, in order to strengthen content stocks, so that new jobs continue to appear in the future, which has brought development to publishers. As long as there are high-quality content works, there will be more opportunities for earning sources of income in a wide range of fields.Return to Sohu to see more
