Q3 2026

Tungsten demand tight, H1 profit up 280%

  • AI chip demand lifts minor metals AI computing is driving demand for tantalum capacitors and molybdenum, which is replacing tungsten in semiconductors. This lifts the whole minor metals sector and supports China Tungsten's products, though the tungsten-replacement trend is a long-term risk to its core business.

    Explains the demand-side force behind the stock's move and a real counterweight.

  • H1 2026 profit surges 280% First-half revenue rose 108.51% to 16.385 billion yuan and net profit jumped 280.53% to 2.076 billion yuan, with second-quarter profit up 25% from the first quarter. Strong earnings confirm the company is cashing in on tight tungsten supply and demand.

    The single biggest new fact driving the stock — a huge profit jump.

  • No dividend despite big profit The company will not pay a cash dividend, issue bonus shares, or convert capital reserve into shares for the first half. Retaining cash can fund growth, but income-focused investors get nothing, a mild negative that partly offsets the strong profit headline.

    A real counterweight within the earnings news that readers should know.

  • Tight tungsten supply lifts sector Shenzhen-listed nonferrous metal companies posted strong first-half results, with more than half doubling profit. The report attributes this to tight supply and demand for industrial metals including tungsten, reinforcing that China Tungsten's gains come from real industry conditions, not one-off items.

    Shows the industry-wide supply-demand backdrop that supports the stock's valuation.

Buyback, dividend and defense-unit growth lift HongDa, but cash outflow widens

  • Chairman-backed buyback plan The chairman proposed buying back 50-100 million yuan of shares for staff incentives, later confirmed with a bank loan covering up to 90%. Buybacks shrink the shares in circulation and signal management thinks the stock is cheap, which supports the price.

    The buyback is the main fresh capital action behind the stock and shows insider confidence.

  • First-half profit and dividend First-half revenue rose 10.79% to 10.14 billion yuan and net profit rose 3.23% to 520 million yuan, with a cash dividend of 2 yuan per 10 shares proposed. Steady earnings plus a payout give investors a reason to hold the stock.

    The interim results and dividend are the period's core fundamental news for the stock.

  • Defense equipment revenue jumps Revenue from the defense equipment business reached 510 million yuan, up 533.79% from a year earlier, mainly from the newly added subsidiary Dalian Changzhilin. A fast-growing new business can lift future profit expectations and support the share price.

    The defense segment surge is the strongest growth driver disclosed in the interim report.

  • Operating cash outflow widens Operating cash flow was negative 913 million yuan, much worse than negative 226 million yuan a year earlier, even as profit grew. That means cash is leaving the business faster than it comes in, a real warning sign that can weigh on the stock.

    It is the main counterweight in the results and balances the positive profit headline.
