China Coal Energy Co ( (HK:1898) ) has shared an announcement.
China Coal Energy reported that in April 2026 both production and sales of commercial coal declined year on year, with output down about 9% and sales down 3%, reflecting softer coal operations compared with the same period in 2025. Coal mining equipment production value also fell by double digits, suggesting weaker demand or project timing effects in its equipment segment.
In contrast, several coal chemical lines showed resilience, as polyethylene and urea production held steady or increased slightly, and urea sales jumped sharply from a low base. Polypropylene and methanol performance was more mixed, while ammonium nitrate output and sales dropped significantly, indicating product-structure adjustments or market weakness in that niche and underlining a shift in the group’s operational balance between coal and chemicals.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1898) stock is a Buy with a HK$16.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Coal Energy Co stock, see the HK:1898 Stock Forecast page.
