The company attributed the surge in net profit mainly to its expansion in the domestic market, driven by the country's policies of subsidizing the sale of home appliances in the countryside and getting consumers to trade-in old home appliances for new ones.

Shares of Hisense closed higher at 25.87 yuan per share, up 1.69 percent compared to the previous close on the profit jump report.
