Tianqi Lithium Corp. Class H ( (HK:9696) ) has issued an announcement.

Tianqi Lithium has issued a positive profit alert for the year ending 31 December 2025, forecasting a swing back to net profit of between RMB369 million and RMB553 million, compared with a net loss of about RMB7.9 billion a year earlier, and estimating basic earnings per share at RMB0.22–0.34 versus a substantial loss per share previously. Management attributes the turnaround to a mitigation of earlier pricing-cycle mismatches between its lithium concentrate inputs and lithium chemical product sales, stronger expected investment income from its associate SQM, foreign-exchange gains driven by a stronger Australian dollar, and lower anticipated asset-impairment charges relative to 2024, signaling a marked recovery in operating performance despite ongoing volatility in lithium product prices.
