On August 10, CHINA SHENHUA rose 3.07% in regular trading, trading at HK$44.28/share, with turnover of HK$252 million.
On the news front, the company announced on August 7 that its board of directors will convene on August 28 to review its first-half results and consider an interim dividend proposal. The company previously guided first-half net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 28.4 billion to RMB 31.9 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 6.3% to 19.4%, primarily driven by profit growth in coal chemical and transportation businesses. The company has explicitly stated it will maintain its cash dividend frequency and continue interim distributions, reinforcing shareholder return expectations.
Additionally, Morgan Stanley reiterated its Overweight rating on the stock with a target price of HK$48.3, noting that second-quarter preliminary results exceeded expectations with implied Q2 net profit of RMB 15.6 billion to RMB 19.1 billion, up 23% to 51% year-over-year. The combination of confirmed dividend commitment and institutional endorsement has bolstered market confidence ahead of the August 28 board meeting.
