China Coal Energy Posts Softer Coal Output but Mixed Coal Chemical Performance in February

An announcement from China Coal Energy Co ( (HK:1898) ) is now available.

China Coal Energy reported weaker coal operations for February 2026, with commercial coal production and sales both declining year on year, including a drop in sales of self-produced coal. The company also saw a sharp fall in production value from its coal mining equipment segment, underscoring pressure on its traditional mining-related businesses.

In contrast, several coal chemical product lines recorded stable or improving output, with polyethylene, urea and methanol production rising modestly, and urea sales showing notable growth despite softer sales of polyethylene, polypropylene, methanol and ammonium nitrate. Management framed the monthly figures as internal operational indicators that can fluctuate with macroeconomic conditions, weather, safety checks and mine geology, cautioning investors against placing undue reliance on a single month’s data.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1898) stock is a Buy with a HK$11.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Coal Energy Co stock, see the HK:1898 Stock Forecast page.
