Bull points
- In the past second quarter, our fulfilled orders continued to increase steadily, significantly outperforming the broader freight market.
- 3.16 million in the second quarter, hitting an all-time high.
- we remain optimistic about the continued growth in our fulfilled orders, given our leading edge and strong market position in the freight matching service.
Bear points
- As stated in our announcement on August 1st, to ensure the sustainable development of our freight brokerage business, the company has decided to increase the freight brokerage service fee starting in August, aiming to reduce reliance on government subsidies and mitigate associated uncertainties. This adjustment may lead to higher costs for shippers, and we anticipate a significant decline in freight brokerage transaction volume beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2025. Consequently, revenues from freight brokerage business are expected to decrease while costs are likely to rise, which may exert some pressure on profitability.
- In early August, in response to the upcoming cancellation of government grants, we promptly increased the fee rate for freight brokerage service to between 10% to 11% to cover the increased tax costs and other operating costs related to the business.
