On September 22, CHINFMINING rose 3.11% in regular trading, trading at HK$16.27, with turnover of approximately HK$73.63 million. The rally was driven by a combination of stabilizing copper prices and continued analyst endorsement.
On the commodity front, LME copper posted a weekly gain of approximately 2% as a Fed rate hike landed as expected, removing near-term uncertainty. Domestic electrolytic copper social inventory stood at around 89,100 tonnes, with low inventory levels expected to underpin further copper price upside. Institutions noted that medium-to-long-term copper mine supply-demand dynamics may shift from tight balance to outright shortage, given persistent capital expenditure shortfalls and frequent supply disruptions.
Meanwhile, China Post Securities recently maintained a Buy rating on the company, highlighting robust H1 results: revenue of US$2.261 billion (+29.1% YoY), attributable net profit of US$4.336 billion (+64.7% YoY), slightly beating guidance. Gross margin surged to 42.4%, driven by dual tailwinds from copper prices and sulfuric acid. Operating cash flow of US$1.04 billion amply covered capital expenditure, and the company declared its first-ever interim dividend. The company also completed a US$300 million zero-coupon convertible bond issuance to fund its Luanshya Shaft No. 28 sulfide ore project in Zambia, with medium-term copper capacity potentially doubling.
