[Inventory scale soared to exceed 9 billion yuan. Ruijie Network responded: It is "strategic stocking"] On October 20, Ruijie Network released its third quarter report for 2026. As of the end of the third quarter of this year, Ruijie Network's inventory scale increased by 207.32% from the beginning of the year, exceeding the 9 billion yuan mark. In response to the increase in inventory scale, Ruijie Networks responded to reporters on October 20 that it was mainly "strategic stocking" of core raw materials, mainly chips. "Because it is considered that there may be (tension) in the supply chain, this is also common sense in the market. After all, this core raw material will be relatively tight, so there is some strategic stocking." In response to the question of whether a significant increase in short-term liabilities will put pressure on the company's operations, the Ruijie Network staff told reporters: "I don't feel any pressure at the moment."
