Executive summary

This week in focus

Loong Airlines’ inquiry response connects fleet growth with aircraft assets, leases and liquidity. Other responses link earnings volatility to working capital and capital expenditure. No additional rule first published during September 21–27 was confirmed in the supplementary review; the private-fund proposal and future-effective futures rules remain follow-up matters.

Weekly overview

No new IPO application acceptance or new IPO review rule was identified across the Shanghai Main Board, STAR Market, Shenzhen Main Board, ChiNext and Beijing Stock Exchange during the week of September 21–27, 2026.

The Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges published eleven IPO inquiry responses that were retrieved and checked in full: two for the Shanghai Main Board, one for the STAR Market, two for the Shenzhen Main Board and six for ChiNext. Suzhou Langgao Electric Motor passed the ChiNext listing committee review on September 22 and moved to the registration submission stage on September 23. Kejian Polymer Materials was scheduled for the Beijing Stock Exchange listing committee on September 23; public data cross-checks indicate that it passed, but the original result PDF was not available during this review.

Four projects reached a termination node during the week: Huandong Robot Joint Technology, Shanghai Huihe Medical Technology, Guangxi Tianyuan Biochemical and Hunan Dingli Technology. The first three are supported by official Shanghai or Shenzhen exchange decisions. The Beijing Stock Exchange termination for Dingli Technology was cross-checked through exchange-data republishers, while the original exchange decision remained unavailable.

Registration dates require particular care. The China Securities Regulatory Commission decision for Nanjing Autotuo Technology is dated September 18, while the Shanghai Stock Exchange project status was updated on September 22. Four Beijing Stock Exchange projects—Jule Food, Senfeng Laser, Wenfeng Optoelectronics and Nanfang Dairy—were updated to a registration-result status on September 24, but their registration decisions were not all made during this reporting week. These are therefore described as status updates, not as four new registration decisions made during the week.

Earlier measures remain under follow-up

The supplementary review did not confirm an additional relevant legal or regulatory text first published during September 21–27 in the official channels examined. A single quiet week does not establish a policy tightening or easing.

Follow-up remains appropriate for the private-fund fundraising proposal, whose comment period ends October 4; the futures-company measures, effective January 1, 2027; and the property-financing opinion. Their earlier publication dates remain unchanged, and they are not counted as new rules this week.

The asterisk marks items for which the original Beijing Stock Exchange result or decision attachment was not obtained, or where the formal decision date differs from the status-update date. Nine Beijing Stock Exchange projects also showed an “inquiry” status update during the week. That data does not establish whether each update reflected a newly issued inquiry, a newly disclosed response or another filing update, so those items are not combined with the eleven verified Shanghai and Shenzhen responses.

What the inquiry responses show

Airline growth must be tested against aircraft assets, leases and liquidity

Zhejiang Loong Airlines’ first-round response contains fifteen groups of questions. In addition to business operations, customers, revenue, procurement, costs and gross margin, the response covers other income and other receivables, aircraft and leases, long-term deferred expenses, solvency, notes and accounts payable, long-term payables, derivatives, construction in progress and inventories.

For an airline, revenue growth and fleet expansion should be assessed together with the split between owned and leased aircraft, lease liabilities, interest expense, maintenance expenditure, foreign-currency exposure and short-term debt maturities. Revenue or accounting profit alone cannot demonstrate the absence of liquidity pressure.

Earnings volatility should reconcile with working capital and capital expenditure

Dandong Dongfang Measurement and Control Technology’s first-round response addresses thirteen groups of questions. Business and technology, market competition and corporate control are linked to earnings decline and seasonality, revenue and customers, procurement and suppliers, costs and gross margin, current-account balances, inventories, expenses, fixed assets, construction in progress and the proposed use of proceeds.

Where seasonality is material, contract awards, delivery or acceptance, revenue recognition, cash collection and procurement should reconcile on a timeline. Changes in current-account balances, inventories and construction in progress should also be tested against operating cash flow and the company’s capacity plan.

Customer concentration and loss-making status require scenario-based disclosure

Shenzhen Yunbao Intelligent’s second-round response focuses on data processing unit products, data-center construction, cloud-service customer demand, customer concentration, its loss-making status and forward-looking information. Forecasts for a loss-making technology issuer with concentrated customers should state the evidence for demand, research and development spending, mass-production milestones, customer validation, pricing and gross-margin assumptions. Sensitivity cases should address lower purchases by major customers and slower-than-expected product iteration. Forward-looking information is not a guaranteed outcome.

Juli Automation Equipment’s response covers a major asset restructuring and advances to related parties, alongside earnings, customers, suppliers, margins, receivables, contract assets, and cash flow. For readers, the related-party terms and restructuring approvals explain one part of the transaction. Following project acceptance through revenue recognition and collection explains whether reported growth is bringing cash into the business.

Recurring financial reporting themes

First, profit and cash flow need a formal reconciliation. Zhongsheng Technology was asked directly about solvency and cash flow, while Juli Automation faced questions on receivables, contract assets and cash flow. Loong Airlines faced a broader package of debt, lease and payable questions. A useful review should bridge profit to working-capital movements and operating cash flow, and then test receivable aging, the conversion of contract assets into receivables, subsequent collections, supplier terms and short-term maturities.

Second, revenue recognition must return to contractual performance and external evidence. Guangdong Baolun Electronics’ second-round inquiry focused on projects recognized upon customer sign-off, while Zhongsheng Technology received a separate revenue-recognition question. The analysis should cover performance obligations, transfer of control, sign-off or acceptance conditions, installation and commissioning responsibilities, returns, invoicing, collections and period-end cut-off. Revenue, related costs and receivables should use consistent cut-off dates.

Third, inventories, fixed assets and construction in progress should be tested in a unified capacity model. Several issuers received questions covering inventories, fixed assets, construction in progress or the proposed use of proceeds. Inventory composition and aging, impairment, equipment utilization, capitalization dates, depreciation and new capacity should be placed in the same operating forecast. If sales volume, yield, pricing or commissioning dates change, the impairment and profitability analysis should change as well.

Regulatory and enforcement observations

The Beijing Securities Regulatory Bureau published three administrative regulatory measures on September 24, although the underlying decisions were dated September 17 or 18. Beijing Kangsi Capital Management was ordered to rectify a failure to provide fund investors with disclosure required by the fund contract and to submit a rectification report within thirty days. Its former compliance and risk-control officer received a warning letter for primary responsibility. Two investment advisory practitioners received warning letters for allowing unqualified third parties to use authenticated online accounts to publish advisory content and conduct marketing livestreams.

The Zhejiang bureau’s official index listed six measures published from September 22 to 24, and the Jiangsu bureau listed seven measures published on September 24. Together with the three Beijing measures, that is a sample of sixteen administrative regulatory measures. The Jiangxi bureau separately listed two administrative penalty decisions on September 23, but their WPS attachments were not fully parsed and verified in this review. No allegation, party name or penalty amount from those two decisions is reproduced here. The combined count of eighteen is a four-region publication sample, not a nationwide enforcement total.

Review outcomes and coverage

No new IPO acceptance or review rule was identified for the five boards. The eleven Shanghai and Shenzhen responses were verified in full. Langgao Electric Motor passed the ChiNext committee and submitted for registration; Huandong Technology, Huihe Medical, and Tianyuan Biochemical received official termination decisions.

Kejian Polymer Materials’ committee result and Dingli Technology’s termination were cross-checked, but their original BSE attachments were not obtained. Registration status-update dates may differ from decision dates, as noted in the ledger. The quiet acceptance week and four-region regulatory sample are too limited to establish a change in national policy or a nationwide enforcement total.

Public sources

At the October 3, 2026 accessibility check, some BSE project and disclosure links returned redirect or access restrictions. Historical official URLs are retained for source identification, but their current accessibility could not be confirmed. The access limitation is not evidence that the underlying documents or review events did not exist.
