In 2006, it was recognized as a "Chinese Time-honored Brand" by the Ministry of Commerce, and its traditional Chinese medicine culture was included in the national intangible cultural heritage protection catalog.

In 2015, while acquiring 28.06% of Jiuzhitang's shares for 1.5 billion yuan, Li Zhenguo, the actual controller of Youbo Pharmaceuticals, incorporated Youbo Pharmaceuticals into a listed company with an asset valuation of 6.5 billion yuan. As a result, Li Zhenguo succeeded the "Yongjin Department" and became the actual controller of Jiuzhitang with a shareholding ratio of 42.33%.

Therefore, the upcoming acquisition of ST Jiuzhi by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Heilongjiang Province is the second time the company has changed hands in nine years.

However, in April 2024, due to the non-operational occupation of funds by Jiuzhitang's controlling shareholder, errors occurred in the 2022 Jiuzhitang annual report. The "Internal Control Audit Report" with a negative opinion in 2023 was issued, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued an "other risk warning". The company's stock abbreviation was also changed from "Jiuzhitang" to "st Jiuzhi".

In 2023, Jiuzhitang's revenue fell to a new low in the past seven years, only 2.96 billion yuan, and its net profit attributable to its parent company was 297 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 16.92%.

In the first three quarters of 2024, st Jiuzhi's total operating income was 2.064 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.94%, and the net profit attributable to the parent company was 240 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 16.77%; the net cash flow generated from operating activities was -72.7 million yuan.

In November 2024, st Jiuzhi and then chairman Li Zhenguo were notified and criticized by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for illegally occupying non-operating funds.

On November 11, st Jiuzhi’s share price closed at 7.59 yuan, with a market value of 6.5 billion yuan.
