Hong Kong-listed Xingye Alloy (00505) reported consolidated revenue of RMB9.26 billion for the year ended 31 December 2025, up 15.00% year on year, driven by higher sales volume and price of copper products.
Gross profit increased 19.78% to RMB912.33 million, lifting the gross margin to 9.85% from 9.46% a year earlier. Operating profit, however, declined 46.34% to RMB179.71 million as administrative expenses (+23.87% to RMB454.47 million) and other losses (+882.13% to RMB268.55 million) outpaced top-line growth.
Net profit attributable to shareholders dropped 45.02% to RMB132.59 million. Management attributed the decline primarily to RMB242.57 million of net losses on copper futures contracts booked during the sharp price rally in 4Q25, alongside higher labour and depreciation costs and the removal of certain export tax rebates. Basic earnings per share decreased to RMB0.15 from RMB0.27.
