Abstract

LYFEN is a Chinese leisure snack company that was the first of its kind to be listed on the stock exchange. While it initially enjoyed success, its share price has experienced a significant drop since its initial public offering (IPO). Additionally, the company has seen falling profits over the years, with negative net profits reported between 2018 and 2020 if government subsidies are excluded. The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in late 2019 and quickly spread across the globe, has had a significant impact on numerous industries, including the leisure snack industry. LYFEN is focused on digitally transforming its supply chain to overcome these difficulties. By embracing digital technologies and modernizing its operations, LYFEN was able to turn its fortunes around and return to profitability. How is LYFEN doing? What changes will take place in the future?
