TREE NEWS reports: As of Nov. 9, only three A-share listed companies had been accepted by courts for bankruptcy reorganization this year — *ST Huawen, *ST Xifa and *ST Zhongji — down from nine in the same period last year. Several firms remain in pre-reorganization, with some industrial investors voluntarily offering longer lock-up periods and higher own-funding ratios. The bar for reorganization is rising as the focus shifts from shell-preservation arbitrage to industrial integration.
Only 3 A-Share Firms Enter Bankruptcy Reorganization in 2025, Down From 9
AI take
The drop from nine court-accepted reorganizations to three signals a genuine shift in how A-share distress is being resolved, not just a quieter year for defaults. Stricter acceptance criteria and investors accepting longer lock-ups and higher own-funding suggest the shell-preservation trade is losing its economics, which matters most for small-cap holders and restructuring specialists who priced in quick turnarounds. The open question is whether the backlog of pre-reorganization cases clears under these tougher terms or stalls, and whether industrial buyers keep absorbing the risk.
