Shares of J&T Express-W, the Tencent-backed Chinese logistics company, rallied nearly 7% on Monday after the company reported a swing to profit in the first half of 2024, boosted by strong overseas sales growth and lower expenses.
J&T Express-W said its net profit for the first six months of the year was $27.6 million, compared to a net loss of $641 million in the same period last year. The company's revenue rose 10% year-over-year to $4.86 billion.
A major factor contributing to the profitability was a sharp drop in selling, general and administrative expenses to $381.7 million, down from $1.77 billion a year ago. The company said this was driven by significantly lower share-based payments and expenses.
