By October 31, all but 6 of China's 1400 listed companies had published their quarterly report as scheduled.

Most listed companies have seen their net profit increase by 20 percent in the first three quarters.

The increase in major operation income and profit has contributed to a net profit increase. Listed companies' gross profit fell against second quarter figures. However, because operating costs fell, net profits actually increased by 9.21 percent in the third quarter.
