China Oriental Group Company Limited issued a positive profit alert, projecting net profit for the year ended 31 December 2025 at between RMB270 million and RMB315 million. The midpoint of this range implies a year-on-year increase of roughly 30%, compared with the RMB225 million recorded in 2024.
Management attributes the anticipated earnings growth to three main factors:
1. Raw-material cost advantage: Prices of key inputs declined at a steeper rate than finished steel prices, widening gross margins. 2. Continued lean management: Ongoing initiatives in cost reduction, efficiency gains, management optimisation and technical transformation supported profitability. 3. Higher operating scale: A year-on-year rebound in production and sales volumes of iron and steel products further strengthened gross profit.
The figures are based on unaudited management accounts and may be adjusted during the final audit process. The audited annual results are scheduled for release on or before 31 March 2026. Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities until the final results are published.
