Losses persist, but new mines and rising coke prices offer a path to recovery

First-half loss and weak interim results Baotailong swung to a net loss of 118 million yuan in H1 2026, with revenue down 10.9% and negative gross margin. Lower coal prices and output plus higher mining costs hurt profitability. This weak financial picture weighs on the stock price.
The loss is the main reason the stock is under pressure and directly answers why it is moving.
New mines boost self-supply and cut costs Baotailong's No. 2 and No. 3 mines (300,000 tons/year each) are now approved as formal mines. This increases self-supplied raw coal, reduces reliance on external purchases, and should lower costs over time, supporting future profits.
These mine approvals are new positive developments that improve the company's long-term cost structure.
Coke price hikes lift industry sentiment Major coke producers raised prices by 50-55 yuan per tonne in August, and national coal output fell 10.1% year-on-year. As a coke producer, Baotailong benefits from higher coke prices and a tighter coal supply, which could improve its revenue.
Rising coke prices directly affect Baotailong's product pricing and potential profitability.

Coking coal swings on mine halts, asset sales, and mixed earnings

Shanxi mine suspensions cut supply Three Shanxi Coking Coal mines with 8.2 million tonnes of annual capacity halted production in late July as licenses expired. Less coal available supports higher coking coal futures prices, though the company is seeking renewals.
This is a fresh, large supply cut that directly tightens the coking coal market.
Chinese coal demand recovery lifts prices Panjiang Coal swung to a first-half profit as coal demand recovered more than expected and domestic and international coal prices rose together. Stronger demand and higher prices pull coking coal futures up.
It shows real end-user demand strengthening, a core force behind coking coal prices.
Anglo American sells Australian coal assets Anglo American agreed to sell its Australian steelmaking coal assets for up to $3.88 billion before merging with Teck. The sale reduces future coking coal supply, which normally supports prices, but signals a shift away from coal.
It changes the long-term supply landscape and investor sentiment for coking coal.
Earnings show weak prices but falling output Baotailong expects a first-half loss as coal prices and output fell, while Alpha Metallurgical's terminal damage forced shipment delays. Weak prices and disruptions cut both ways, but falling output tightens supply and can support futures.
It captures the tug-of-war between weak pricing and reduced supply that shapes coking coal's direction.
