China National Building Material Flags RMB890 Million Interim Loss on Building Materials Slump
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.China National Building Material Co. (HK:3323) expects an unaudited interim loss of approximately RMB890 million for the first half of 2026, reversing a RMB1.36 billion profit from the previous year. The decline is driven by lower sales prices and volumes in core building materials like cement and concrete, alongside higher impairment charges. Gains in new materials segments were insufficient to offset these losses. The company advises caution regarding its preliminary figures.
An update from China National Building Material Co ( (HK:3323) ) is now available.
China National Building Material has warned that it expects to post an unaudited loss of about RMB890 million for the six months ended 30 June 2026, compared with a profit of roughly RMB1.36 billion a year earlier. The reversal is largely attributed to lower sales prices for key products such as cement, commercial concrete and aggregates, weaker volumes for commercial concrete and gypsum board, and higher impairment charges on property, plant and equipment and goodwill, alongside greater net losses from fair value changes in financial assets.
These pressures outweighed gains from rising prices and lower costs in glass fibers, higher prices and volumes in electronic fabrics, increased lithium battery separator sales, and reduced costs for cement and commercial concrete, leaving profit growth in the smaller new materials segment unable to offset declines in the core basic building materials business. The company, which will release its final interim results by the end of August 2026, has urged shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in its shares as the figures remain preliminary and subject to change.
