The open

Stop It's 9:39. The price is $1.88. The stock opened at $1.91, below yesterday's close of $1.99, and almost nothing traded until 9:36, when 950 shares changed hands around $1.91.

Press play: the real Level 2, time and sales and chart stop at 9:39 a.m. ET for your call, then show what happened. The clip starts at 9:36 a.m. ET.
It slid from $1.91 to $1.80 at 9:40. At 9:42 another 630 shares traded at $1.80.
At 9:48 it was $1.94. It reached $1.98 at 10:06, the high of the regular session. Only 5 shares traded in that minute.
The rest of the regular session
After 10:22 the trades were far apart: $1.93 at 11:28, $1.94 at 12:56 and at 2:02 p.m. (600 shares), and $1.95 at 3:55 p.m. The last trade before 4:00 p.m. printed $1.95. There were no halts.
4,529 shares traded from the open to the close, far less than the 2.23 million float. Relative volume for the whole day was about 674 times normal, but normal here is tiny.
After hours: news and the run
At 4:00 p.m. there was a trade at $1.85. At 4:30 p.m., PRNewsWire ran: “JIN MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL LTD. Reports First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results”. A trade at $1.99 followed at 4:31 and $1.93 at 4:42.
Then nothing traded until 5:40 p.m. At 5:26 p.m. the company had filed a 6-K (a foreign company's current report). Trading resumed at 5:40 p.m. at $2.06. The next minutes were fast: $2.24 at 5:41, $2.41 at 5:42, and $2.97 at 5:43 on 77,200 shares.
At 5:44 it hit $3.40, then dropped to $2.54 by 5:45. At 5:48 it jumped from $2.98 to $3.69 on 248,243 shares, the biggest minute of the night. The high was $3.72 in the 5:53 p.m. minute, up from $1.85 at 4:00 p.m.
After that it drifted. It was at $3.33 at 6:00 p.m., $3.00 around 6:39, and $2.76 at 6:48. It bounced to $3.40 at 7:16 p.m. and was near $3.18 at 7:59 p.m.
By 6:17 p.m., more shares had traded than exist in the whole float (2.23 million). After hours, 3,508,310 shares traded, against 4,529 in the regular session.
What to take from it
- The regular session can say almost nothing. 4,529 shares traded in the regular session, and the big move came later, after hours.
- On a stock this thin, the screen price is not what you pay. A 5,000-share buy at 10:06 a.m. would have averaged $2.11 against a $1.99 screen.
- The after-hours move dwarfed the regular session. The after-hours high of $3.72 was far above the $1.98 regular-session high.
Why it ran
News and SEC filings for ZJYL published between the previous session's close and the first minute ZJYL traded 20% above it, at 5:42 p.m. ET, newest first, from the same feeds the replay shows.

| 6:17 p.m. | Volume since 4:00 a.m. passes the whole float, 2.23 million shares |
The shape is a fixed rule, not a judgement: gapped 10% or more at the open, ran 10% or more from the open to the high, and faded if it gave back 30% or more of that move by the close.
