Harbin Electric's stock price soared 5.14% during intraday trading on Wednesday, following the company's release of unaudited earnings guidance for the first half of 2026.

The guidance indicates a significant improvement in profitability, with net profit expected to reach approximately CN¥1,700 million, compared to roughly CN¥1,050 million in the same period a year earlier. The company attributes this positive change to steady operating income, ongoing quality and efficiency initiatives, and a higher gross margin.

This earnings update has shifted investor focus back to the company's fundamentals and valuation, providing a catalyst for the stock's upward movement in the session.
