China Coal Xinji Energy Co Ltd

The coal sector rallied again in afternoon trading, with Dayou Energy hitting limit up in a bullish reversal, marking its second limit-up in four sessions. Earlier, Shanghai Energy and Meijin Energy hit limit up, while Xinji Energy and Haohua Energy rose in tandem. On the news front, Shanghai Energy's 2026 interim report showed first-half revenue of 4.45 billion yuan, up 27.21 percent year on year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of 283 million yuan, up 38.02 percent. A research note from Guosheng Securities said the pace of coal mine resumption in Shanxi remains slow, supply stays tight, downstream demand is solid, and most mines are struggling to meet demand. Combined with rising futures prices and strong market sentiment, coking coal prices have repeatedly hit new highs for the year, and this trend is expected to continue in the short term.

Xinji Energy released its 2026 interim report, achieving operating revenue of 7.892 billion yuan, up 35.82% year on year. Net profit attributable to the parent company was 1.217 billion yuan, up 32.27%, and net profit after deducting non-recurring items was 1.222 billion yuan, up 30.75%. Net cash flow from operating activities was 2.228 billion yuan, up 36.98%. The company produced 10.2543 million tonnes of commercial coal, up 3.19%, and sold 10.12 million tonnes, up 7.27%. As newly built coal-fired power projects in Shangrao, Chuzhou, and Lu'an entered commercial operation, the company's power generation reached 12.302 billion kilowatt-hours, surging 84.55% year on year, while on-grid electricity was 11.624 billion kilowatt-hours, up 85.15%. The company said the earnings growth mainly benefited from a tight supply-demand balance in the domestic coal market, a higher price centre for thermal coal, and a significant increase in power revenue brought by the newly commissioned power plants. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the company cautioned that coal prices still face downward pressure, and that close attention should be paid to the impact of coal price trends on gross margins, as well as the capacity utilisation rates of new power projects and the collection of electricity fees.

Xinji Energy released its 2026 semi-annual report, achieving operating revenue of 7.892 billion yuan, up 35.82% year on year; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 1.217 billion yuan, up 32.27% year on year. The performance growth was mainly due to a 7.27% year-on-year increase in commercial coal sales volume, an 84.55% increase in power generation, and an 85.15% increase in on-grid electricity. The company's second-quarter net profit was 669 million yuan, and first-quarter net profit was 548 million yuan, implying a quarter-on-quarter increase of 22% in second-quarter net profit.
