FAP, April 15 (Xinhua)-- as of April 14, 27 home appliance listed companies have issued 2022 annual reports. Among them, 20 companies were prepared for inventory price decline at the end of last year, the total balance increased over the same period last year, 10 companies increased by more than 70%, accounting for nearly 40% of listed companies that have released financial reports, and the balance of some companies was even eight times that of the same period last year. Wang Jiyue, a senior investment banker, said: overall, inventory prices of home appliance companies are preparing for general growth. This is the performance of the high production capacity of the industry and the rapid upgrading of products, and the inventory of old products makes enterprises generally face greater impairment pressure. The increase in inventory prices in the home appliance industry is mainly due to the fact that the rate of mobile sales is not as expected. This kind of situation is related to product competitiveness, and enterprises can find ways to break through in the aspects of product innovation, inventory clearance, business development and so on.
