An update from China Coal Energy Co ( (HK:1898) ) is now available.
China Coal Energy reported mixed operational data for May 2026, showing a decline in commercial coal production while overall coal sales were broadly stable year on year. Output of self-produced commercial coal fell, and the production value of coal mining equipment dropped sharply, underscoring pressure on the company’s traditional coal and equipment segments.
In contrast, the coal chemical business delivered solid growth in polyolefins, with significant increases in polyethylene and polypropylene production and sales compared with May 2025. However, urea, methanol and ammonium nitrate volumes weakened, reflecting uneven demand across chemical products, and the company cautioned that monthly data are subject to macroeconomic, market and operational fluctuations and may differ from figures in periodic reports.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1898) stock is a Buy
with a HK$18.00 price target.
