Gree’s third-quarter 2026 revenue fell 8% year on year, while operating profit dropped 40%, reflecting weak home appliance sales, the exit from noncore businesses, and higher raw material costs. The company declared an unchanged interim dividend of CNY 1 per share for 2026.
Gree Electric Appliances is one of the largest heating, ventilating, and air conditioning product manufacturers in China, with key products such as residential and commercial air conditioners. Gree generates over 80% of sales domestically and is backed by China’s Zhuhai local government. Air conditioners remain the biggest contributor to Gree’s earnings, with over 70% representation over the years. The company has also made forays into industrial component parts, photovoltaic equipment, new energy vehicles, and battery production. As of March 2026, Chair Dong Mingzhu and privately owned investment entity Zhuhai Mingjun collectively held 18% of its total equity interest, while state-owned Zhuhai Gree Group owned about 3.5%.
