By Isabella Cheng, Published Oct 20, 2020, 10:56am EDT

While Dahua's overall revenue was up more than 12% in Q3 2020, a significant improvement from the first half of 2020, the company's operating profit is down.

In this post, we examine Dahua's Q3 2020 financial disclosures and what this means for Dahua going forward, including:

  • Recovery continues as revenue grows
  • Profits attributable to shareholders surge due to chip subsidiary sale
  • Revenue up but operating profits down, reasons unclear
  • Decreasing operating profits partially explained by financial expenses and losses
  • Analysts say government spending recovery contributes to rising revenue
  • Fever camera demand slow down could contribute to stagnating profits
  • Internal management promotions
  • Market reaction
