Zangge's profit doubled, potash expansion and copper cash flow strengthen

First-half profit more than doubled Zangge's first-half net profit jumped 102% to 3.64 billion yuan, with revenue up 23%. Lithium revenue more than doubled and margins expanded, showing the potash, lithium and copper businesses all firing. Strong earnings support the share price and fund a 1.56 billion yuan dividend.
The profit surge is the core fundamental driver behind the stock's value.
Buying 92% of Congo potash project Zangge will pay about $171 million for a 92% stake in Kanga Potash, giving it access to potash mining and exploration rights in the Republic of the Congo. This expands its potash reserves and future production, a long-term growth driver that could lift the stock as the deal progresses.
The acquisition is a new expansion of Zangge's core potash business.
Copper mine pays another big dividend Zangge received 1.54 billion yuan in dividends from its 30.78%-owned Julong Copper, bringing total cash received this year to 4.62 billion yuan. This boosts cash reserves and cash flow, giving Zangge more money to fund projects and pay its own dividends, which supports the share price.
The cash inflow strengthens Zangge's balance sheet and funding capacity.

AMG lifts profit outlook and wins EU backing for lithium projects

AMG raises 2026 profit guidance after strong quarter AMG reported second-quarter profit (adjusted EBITDA) of $92 million, up 30% from a year earlier, and raised its full-year outlook to $230–$250 million. Stronger lithium demand and a big shipment shifted from the first quarter drove the gain, a real sign the business is earning more.
The guidance raise is the clearest new fundamental driver of the stock.
EU names two AMG lithium projects strategic The European Commission designated AMG's Bitterfeld lithium refinery and the Zinnwald project as Critical Raw Materials Act Strategic Projects. That EU backing can speed permits and funding, and it strengthens AMG's position as Europe's home-grown lithium supplier, supporting the shares.
This is a new regulatory endorsement that improves AMG's long-term lithium prospects.
AMG reshapes portfolio and strengthens balance sheet AMG closed the $56 million purchase of Zinnwald Lithium and sold Graphit Kropfmühl for $64 million, ending the quarter with $508 million of liquidity and over $400 million cash. The moves focus the company on lithium while keeping plenty of money to fund growth.
Portfolio deals and a strong cash position underpin the improved outlook.
Big investors build stakes, but dividend stays flat Man Group raised its AMG stake to 3.24% and Dimensional disclosed 1.95%, showing institutional interest that can support the price. Against that, AMG kept its interim dividend unchanged at €0.20 a share, a reminder that cash returns are not yet growing.
Institutional buying is a genuine positive, but the flat dividend is the counterweight.
