West China Cement forecasts 45%–50% plunge in H1 2026 profit to RMB 374–412 million

Bulletin Express08-07

West China Cement Limited has issued a profit warning indicating that profit attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2026 is expected to fall to a range of RMB 374.20 million–RMB 411.60 million. This represents a decline of approximately 45%–50% from the RMB 748.30 million recorded in the comparable period of 2025.

Management attributes the projected earnings contraction mainly to weaker performance in the People’s Republic of China, where both the average selling price and sales volume of cement products decreased. Partially mitigating this deterioration, overseas operations reported higher cement sales volumes and revenue, contributing to an uptick in profits outside China.

The figures are derived from unaudited consolidated management accounts and have not yet been reviewed by the company’s auditor or audit committee. Finalised interim results are scheduled for release by the end of August 2026.

Shareholders and prospective investors have been advised to exercise caution when trading the company’s shares in light of the anticipated earnings decline.
