China Tianrui Group Cement Co., Ltd. ( (HK:1252) ) has provided an announcement.
China Tianrui Group Cement Company Limited has warned of a delay in publishing its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025, missing the 31 March 2026 regulatory deadline in Hong Kong. The group says it is still gathering information required by its auditor, particularly around large prepayments to coal suppliers, which are critical inputs for its cement operations.
The auditor has raised concerns about fund flows involving one coal supplier, with unaudited balances of about RMB8.26 billion at end-2025, and about the recoverability of outstanding prepayments that saw little utilization during the year. Because directors are not involved in day-to-day operations at various subsidiaries and supporting documents remain incomplete, the audit committee has appointed an independent investigator to review the fund flows and documentation, a move that heightens scrutiny of the company’s internal controls and may unsettle shareholders until the findings are disclosed.
Trading in the company’s shares has been suspended pending the release of the delayed results, in line with Hong Kong listing rules designed to protect investors when reliable financial information is unavailable. The probe into prepayments and the audit delay could affect perceptions of governance and financial transparency at Tianrui, with potential consequences for its market valuation and access to capital once trading resumes.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1252) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.26 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Tianrui Group Cement Co., Ltd. stock, see the HK:1252 Stock Forecast page.
