Stock Track04-21

CHINA XLX FERT (01866) saw its stock price soar 5.03% during Tuesday's intraday trading session. The significant upward movement follows the company's release of an optimistic profit alert for the first quarter.

The company anticipates revenue to reach between RMB 6.7 billion and RMB 7.0 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 15% to 20%. More notably, net profit attributable to shareholders is forecast to surge 41% to 52% compared to the same period last year. This substantial earnings growth is attributed to a simultaneous increase in both the volume and price of its core products, driving an overall improvement in gross profit margin.

The positive company-specific news is bolstered by strong industry tailwinds. Global nitrogen fertilizer prices have risen sharply, with international urea prices reportedly doubling since the beginning of the year due to geopolitical tensions affecting supplies from the Persian Gulf region. This creates a favorable pricing environment and arbitrage opportunities for exporters like CHINA XLX FERT. Furthermore, analysts highlight that the company's profit recovery is amplified by its capacity expansion cycle coinciding with the industry upturn, creating an operating leverage effect where profit growth outpaces revenue growth.
