On July 23, CITIC rose 4.01% in regular trading, trading at HKD 12.18/share, with turnover of HKD 80.91 million. The stock was buoyed by a cluster of positive signals from multiple subsidiaries reporting strong first-half earnings forecasts.
On the earnings front, CITIC previously disclosed that it expects H1 attributable net profit to grow no less than 6% year-over-year. Core subsidiary CITIC Securities forecasts H1 net profit of approximately RMB 23.343 billion, up roughly 70% YoY. CITIC Metal expects H1 net profit of RMB 25 billion to 27.5 billion, representing a 73% to 90% YoY increase, driven by favorable commodity market conditions.
Additionally, subsidiary CITIC Special Steel formally reduced the conversion price of its convertible bonds from RMB 21.78/share to RMB 13.89/share effective July 23, following shareholder approval on July 22. The adjustment aims to optimize the company's capital structure. The combination of robust earnings growth across key subsidiaries and capital optimization measures collectively lifted market sentiment toward the conglomerate.
