Market Focus05-29

On May 29, China National Building Material rose 6.73% in regular trading, trading at 5.59 HKD/share, with trading volume of approximately 140 million HKD.

On the news front, the 15th Five-Year Plan outline proposed building a modern infrastructure system encompassing 23 major projects including railways, highways, and ports, supporting a sustained recovery in cement demand. Meanwhile, local government bond issuance has grown significantly this year, further boosting infrastructure investment expectations. Cement producers are showing strong pricing power amid rising coal and raw material costs, with institutional research reports pointing to a profit recovery as industry supply-demand rebalances.

Additionally, the company reported Q1 net loss attributable to shareholders narrowed sharply by 65.67% year-over-year to RMB 177 million. Morgan Stanley attributed the improvement to higher fiberglass average selling prices and lower costs, while noting electronic fiber and battery separator sales growth as further support. Driven by explosive AI computing demand, specialty electronic cloth remains in high demand with prices entering an upward trajectory, and institutions expect the new materials segment profitability to continue improving.
