Nanshan Aluminium International flags unaudited Q1 data and sharp alumina price slump

An update from Nanshan Aluminium International Holdings Limited ( (HK:2610) ) is now available.

Nanshan Aluminium International Holdings Limited disclosed inside information that its controlling shareholder, Shandong Nanshan Aluminium Co., Ltd., has released unaudited first-quarter 2026 results prepared under Chinese accounting standards, which include financial and operational data covering the group. The company cautioned that these figures are not directly comparable with its own HKFRS-based reporting and have not been audited or reviewed by its auditors, signalling that investors should treat the numbers as indicative rather than definitive.

The announcement highlighted that the average overseas alumina price in the first quarter of 2026 was about US$308 per ton, down roughly 41% year on year amid earlier global oversupply, lower bauxite costs and weak seasonal demand, though Middle East geopolitical tensions later lifted freight and energy costs and supported prices. Management explicitly warned shareholders and potential investors not to place undue reliance on the controlling shareholder’s quarterly figures and to exercise caution when trading the company’s securities, underscoring the uncertainty around earnings sensitivity to volatile alumina market conditions.
