China Coal Energy Co ( (HK:1898) ) has provided an update.

China Coal Energy reported that its December 2025 commercial coal production fell 8% year-on-year to 10.91 million tonnes, with sales of commercial coal down 23% in the month and total-year sales 10.2% lower than 2024, reflecting a softer coal market and potentially tighter operating conditions. In contrast, the company saw generally stronger performance in coal chemical products, including higher December production and sales of polyethylene and polypropylene and notable full-year growth in urea, methanol, and ammonium nitrate volumes, even as coal mining equipment production value declined both in December and for the year, indicating a shift in the group’s operational momentum toward chemicals amid weaker coal and equipment demand and signaling mixed implications for investors across its different business segments.

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.
