E-Commodities Holdings Limited issued a positive profit alert indicating that net profit for the six months ended 30 June 2026 will exceed HK$240.00 million, representing growth of more than 80% compared with the same period in 2025.
The surge is primarily attributed to a stronger coking-coal price environment. Industry data show that:
• The average spot price of domestic premium coking coal rose nearly 25% year-on-year in the first half of 2026. • China’s total coking-coal imports reached 66.88 million tonnes, up about 26%; Mongolian deliveries accounted for 40.58 million tonnes, rising approximately 64%. • Domestic supply was constrained by weather and safety factors, tightening capacity in key producing regions.
Leveraging these favourable market dynamics, E-Commodities reported:
• Steady improvement in gross profit within its coal-trading segment, supported by diversified resource deployment that mitigated supply disruptions and import volatility. • Ongoing optimisation of its market-oriented risk-management system; the company employed futures derivatives to hedge broad price swings, helping smooth operating profit. • Year-on-year volume growth in its integrated supply-chain services business, consolidating its operational base.
The interim results are still being finalised and have not yet been reviewed or audited by external auditors. Management expects to release the full unaudited figures on or around 25 August 2026. The board advises shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s shares.
