The latest announcement is out from Strong Petrochemical Holdings Limited ( (HK:0852) ).
Strong Petrochemical Holdings Limited has warned that it expects to incur a loss of about USD10.70 million on a 2026 trading transaction involving roughly 1.65 million barrels of imported bitumen, intended for sale into China’s road asphalt sector. The loss stems from prolonged customs inspections, unexpected product classification issues that inflated selling costs, and a surge in transport expenses and crude oil price volatility amid escalating Middle East geopolitical tensions, which also damped customer demand.
Management says the loss, based on preliminary unaudited assessment, should not have a material adverse impact on ongoing operations, and the group will continue to wind down the transaction in line with existing agreements while tightening import compliance and risk controls. The company, whose shares have been suspended from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 31 December 2024, plans to respond more prudently to price and structural risks in global commodity markets, and has urged shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution.
