On June 22, Conch Cement fell 3.32% in regular trading, trading at HK$17.43/share, with turnover of HK$52.08 million. The Construction Materials sector broadly weakened, with West China Cement down 6.13%, Huaxin Building Materials down 3.65%, and CNBM down 2.83%.
On the news front, the cement industry's supply-demand imbalance continues to intensify. May national cement output declined 8% year-over-year, while the Q2 cement price index fell approximately 15% year-over-year, putting significant pressure on industry profitability. The company's market capitalization had previously fallen below the RMB 100 billion threshold. Market estimates suggest mid-year non-recurring net profit could decline nearly 30% year-over-year. The company has advanced share buybacks and increased dividend payout ratios as part of market value management measures, but near-term industry fundamentals have yet to show signs of a turning point.
