China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd Class H ( (HK:2039) ) just unveiled an announcement.

China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd. has warned that its net profit attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to fall to between RMB164 million and RMB224 million, down sharply from RMB543.8 million a year earlier. Basic earnings per share are projected to drop to RMB0.027–0.038 from RMB0.0971, highlighting a substantial deterioration in profitability.

The company attributes the decline mainly to lower volume and pricing in its core container manufacturing business amid lingering uncertainties in global trade policy and a normalization of industry demand, which reduced both revenue and profit in that segment. Additional pressure came from higher foreign-exchange losses as the renminbi appreciated against the U.S. dollar, though the offshore engineering business saw improved profitability, and management reiterated its focus on logistics and energy equipment and services to support future returns.
