China Coal Energy Co ( (HK:1898) ) just unveiled an announcement.
China Coal Energy Co reported a sharp decline in 2025 financial performance, with revenue falling 21.8% year on year to RMB148.06 billion as weaker coal prices and lower trading volumes weighed on the top line. Profit attributable to equity holders dropped 20% to RMB14.50 billion, while basic earnings per share slid to RMB1.09 and EBITDA contracted 18.2% to RMB33.17 billion.
Despite the earnings pressure, the board recommended a final dividend of RMB0.217 per share for 2025, signaling an ongoing commitment to shareholder returns even in a softer profit environment. Lower costs across materials, sales taxes and other operating items partially offset the revenue decline, but reduced operating profit and higher effective tax still compressed net results, underscoring the impact of a less favorable market backdrop on the coal producer’s profitability.
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.
