West China Cement Flags 33–43% Profit Jump on Overseas Growth and Cost Cuts

An announcement from West China Cement ( (HK:2233) ) is now available.

West China Cement has issued a positive profit alert, projecting profit attributable to shareholders for 2025 to rise to about RMB832.8 million to RMB895.5 million, an increase of roughly 33% to 43% from RMB626.2 million in 2024. The board stressed that these figures are based on preliminary unaudited management accounts and that final audited results, which may differ, will be released by the end of March 2026.

Management attributed the expected profit surge mainly to higher overseas cement sales volumes, reduced costs of sales for its cement products in China and the recognition of negative goodwill from its acquisition of Cimenterie de Lukala SA during 2025. The update underscores the growing importance of the company’s international expansion and cost efficiencies to its earnings profile, while cautioning investors to be prudent when trading the shares ahead of the final results.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:2233) stock is a Hold with a HK$3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on West China Cement stock, see the HK:2233 Stock Forecast page.
