An announcement from Maanshan Iron & Steel Co ( (HK:0323) ) is now available.

Maanshan Iron & Steel Company Limited reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of RMB 17.72 billion, down 8.79% year on year, but returned to profitability with total profit of RMB 119.97 million and net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 42.37 million. The company’s net cash flow from operating activities surged more than fourfold to RMB 1.41 billion and its equity attributable to shareholders edged up, indicating improved operational efficiency and a modest recovery in profitability despite lower sales.

The quarter also saw a small positive basic and diluted earnings per share of RMB 0.01, compared with a loss in the same period last year, while net profit excluding non-recurring items was slightly negative. Overall asset levels remained broadly stable, and the improvement in return on net assets suggests the company is managing capital more effectively, which may support stakeholder confidence amid a challenging steel market environment.
