Yunnan Aluminium forecasts significant profit increase for first half 2025

Yunnan Aluminium anticipates net profits attributable to shareholders to range between CNY 2.7 billion and CNY 2.8 billion for the period from January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, representing a 7.19% to 11.16% increase compared to the same period last year. The company expects net profits, excluding non-recurring items, to be between CNY 2.65 billion and CNY 2.75 billion, a 10.98% to 15.17% increase year-over-year. Basic earnings per share are projected at CNY 0.779 to CNY 0.807. The forecast is attributed to full-capacity aluminum production, effective cost control measures, and rising aluminum prices. Improved margins on raw materials, particularly alumina, also contributed to the strong performance in the second quarter. The company advises investors that these figures are preliminary and subject to change based on the final audit.
