Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

China Railway Group ( (HK:0390) ) has issued an announcement.

China Railway Group reported a weak first quarter for 2026, with revenue falling 5.46% year-on-year to RMB 235.0 billion and profit before tax down 19.64%. Net profit attributable to shareholders dropped 27.65% to RMB 4.36 billion, while earnings per share declined in tandem and net profit excluding non-recurring items fell almost 30%, underscoring pressure on underlying profitability.

Operating cash flow remained deeply negative at RMB -86.43 billion, widening from the prior year’s outflow and highlighting ongoing working capital strain in the group’s project-heavy business model. Total assets edged down 1.86% from year-end 2025, though owners’ equity attributable to shareholders rose modestly by 0.87%, suggesting some balance-sheet resilience despite the earnings deterioration.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0390) stock is a Buy with a HK$5.30 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Railway Group stock, see the HK:0390 Stock Forecast page.
