The Dazhong Transportation Institute continues to promote flattening reforms and consolidate the development pattern of two wings and four pillars.

Affected by various factors, the company's operating performance fluctuates, but overall it still has a certain profitability.

Why did the stock price of Volkswagen Transportation, which had been flat for several years, suddenly rise sharply?

From July 10 to 22, Dazhong Transportation issued a total of 6 announcements on abnormal stock trading fluctuations. In the announcement, the company stated that after self-examination, the company's current production and operation activities are normal, and the company's disclosed operating conditions and internal and external environment have not changed significantly. There are no major events that affect the abnormal fluctuations in the company's stock trading price. The controlling shareholder, actual controller and other relevant parties also confirmed that as of the date of disclosure of the announcement, except for the information that has been publicly disclosed in the designated media, there are no major events that affect the abnormal fluctuations in the company's stock trading price; there is no other major information that should be disclosed by the company but has not been disclosed, including but not limited to major asset restructuring, share issuance, acquisition, debt restructuring and other major events.

In the announcement, Volkswagen Transportation repeatedly mentioned that it has noticed the recent high attention from the market on smart connected vehicles. This model is still in the experimental stage and basically does not generate any revenue for the company. There is still uncertainty about the future business development trend and it will not have a significant impact on the company's business activities in the short term.

However, some analysts believe that the concept of driverless cars is undoubtedly the biggest winner in the A-share market recently. The performance of the two leading driverless car stocks, Volkswagen Transportation and King Long Motors, has attracted the most attention.

Profits of over 10 billion since listing, dividends of 3.4 billion

The surge in Volkswagen Transportation's stock price reflects the market's expectations for its driverless business. At the same time, the company's own operations are relatively stable.

The predecessor of Dazhong Transportation was Shanghai Dazhong Taxi Company, and it has now become one of the largest public transportation groups in Shanghai.

Dazhong Transportation was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on August 7, 1992. It is a long-established listed company. After years of development and layout, its main industries are currently the transportation, automobile and service industry, financial investment industry, real estate and hotel industry, and big data industry.

Judging from the current market situation, the four major industries of the above-mentioned companies are under certain pressure, but there is also a positive trend. In the transportation and automobile service industry, the mobility problem of drivers and the price competition of mainstream online car-hailing platforms have caused a double impact on the industry's service quality and profit expectations. In the field of car rental, leasing companies are still facing a relatively severe situation of preservation and determination. In the financial investment industry, the demand for small loans has tended to shrink, and the homogeneous competition with bank products has limited the development of traditional small loan business to a certain extent, and there is also competition in the business between Internet small loan companies and financial companies. The company quickly made business adjustments and launched products with strong market competitiveness, such as stock pledge loans, to effectively hedge the risks caused by the loss of conventional business. In the real estate and hotel industry, the current situation of the real estate industry is that real estate regulation policies and financial policies have given more support in risk prevention, delivery guarantee and stable demand, and the real estate market is expected to improve. In the big data industry, with the prevalence of processing models such as ChatGPT, the demand for computing power has grown rapidly, bringing significant opportunities to the computing power market.

Dazhong Transportation said that the company continues to promote flattening reforms and consolidate the development pattern of two wings and four pillars. The two wings are reflected in the dual-engine development of industrial capital and financial capital, and the four pillars are four major industrial clusters, namely transportation and automobile services, financial investment, real estate and hotels, and big data industrial clusters. The company further leverages the advantages brought by institutional reforms, digital transformation, and industrial resource integration, focusing on the main business, synergizing and increasing efficiency, and developing steadily.

Overall, by constantly responding to market changes, Dazhong Transportation has maintained a certain level of profitability. From 2020 to 2023, the company's net profits will be 535 million yuan, 328 million yuan, -274 million yuan, and 324 million yuan, respectively.

Wind data shows that since its listing, Volkswagen Transportation has achieved a cumulative net profit of 10.785 billion yuan and distributed a total of 3.424 billion yuan in cash dividends. The average dividend rate since its listing is 31.75%, and the dividend financing ratio is 353.48%.

Dazhong Transportation's financial operations are relatively stable. As of the end of 2023, the company's debt-to-asset ratio is 45.48%.

A reporter from the Yangtze Business Daily found that since 2016, the major shareholders of Volkswagen Transportation have not reduced their holdings.
