Sichuan Gold's profit more than doubles on higher gold prices and sales
First-half profit more than doubles Sichuan Gold reported first-half 2026 net profit of 433 million yuan, up 107.34% from a year earlier, with revenue up 87.03%. The company sold more gold concentrate and got higher prices, which directly boosts earnings and supports the stock price.
This is the actual reported result, the strongest new evidence of the company's earnings power.
Gold price surge drove results The average gold price in Shanghai rose about 45.88% year on year in the first half, and Sichuan Gold's sales volume of gold concentrate increased 14.59%. Higher prices and more volume together lifted profit, and gold prices remain the main force behind the company's earnings.
It explains the underlying force behind the profit jump and what investors should watch going forward.
Profitability and cash flow improved Gross margin reached 71.01%, up 5.94 percentage points, and operating cash flow rose 83.24% to 568 million yuan. Stronger margins and cash generation make the earnings growth look sustainable rather than a one-off.
It shows the quality of the profit, not just the headline number, which matters for a long-term investor.
A large shareholder exited Zhang Jianping, previously the eighth-largest shareholder, dropped out of the top ten list by June 30. A big investor selling can weigh on sentiment, though the company's strong results and a 70% year-to-date share price gain show the market has largely looked past it.
It is the main counterweight in the period and gives a fair picture of risks alongside the strong earnings.
