The company reported a net profit rise of 9.38 percent, to 79.27 million yuan from January to September, according to a quarterly report filed with the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Youon saw its fixed assets surge 496.8 percent from the beginning of the year to 114 million yuan by the end of the third quarter, as the company increased its number of shared-bikes.
Youon went public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Aug 17 this year, the first initial public offering by a bike-sharing company.
Its shares soared by the daily limit on the first trading day, and for the following 10 trading days.
