ST** refers to a domestic listed company that has undergone special treatment**, usually because the company has serious financial or operational problems and needs to remind investors to pay attention to risks. According to the Listing Rules of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (revised in 2020), the implementation of ST is as follows:
The company's production and business activities have been seriously affected and are expected to not return to normal within three months
The company's main bank account was frozen;
The board of directors and the general meeting of shareholders of the company cannot hold meetings and form resolutions normally
The company was issued an internal control audit report or assurance report that could not express an opinion or adverse opinion within one year;
The company provides funds to the controlling shareholder or its affiliates or provides external guarantees in violation of prescribed procedures and the circumstances are serious;
The company's net profit before and after deducting non-recurring gains and losses for three fiscal years is negative, and the one-year audit report shows that there is uncertainty about the company's ability to continue operations;
Other circumstances as determined by the Firm;
Therefore, losing money for 3 consecutive years does not necessarily mean that you will be ST, nor is it the only condition for being ST. Whether it is ST or not depends on other situations of the company.
