Bona Film Group stock volatile, guarantees subsidiary amidst financial challenges

Bona Film Group's stock has seen abnormal trading fluctuations, with its closing price deviating by over 20% across three consecutive trading days (December 10-12, 2025). The company's board verified no undisclosed major events or corrections needed for previous information. However, the company acknowledges high investor interest in "Avatar 3" discussions on platforms, noting the film's unreleased status and its subsidiary's low investment return rights, which are not expected to significantly impact short-term performance.

In a related development, Bona Film Group has provided a RMB 14,000,000 term deposit pledge guarantee to Zhejiang Merchants Bank Shanghai Branch for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bona Entertainment Company Limited, to secure a working capital loan. This guarantee falls within the RMB 202,137,500 approved for guarantees to consolidated subsidiaries and is part of a larger RMB 499,291,110 total approved guarantee limit.

The company's latest financials for the first three quarters of 2025 show a revenue of RMB 972m, a 1.29% increase year-on-year, but a net loss of RMB 1.109bn, increasing by 213.11% from the previous year. Bona Film Group emphasizes the normal operations of its subsidiary, Bona Entertainment, which incurred a net loss of RMB 8,427.69 in the first nine months of 2025, and assures investors that the guarantee risk is manageable despite the company's current loss-making status.
