CHUANGXIN IND (02788) surged nearly 8% again. As of writing, the stock was up 6%, trading at HK$26.84 with a turnover of HK$28.74 million. Since the beginning of 2026, primary aluminum prices have experienced a significant increase. Huatai Securities noted that the overall logic of tight supply and demand in 2026 remains valid. Consequently, despite the current cautious purchasing sentiment among downstream aluminum smelting consumers, it does not alter the medium to long-term trend of a further upward shift in the profit center for primary aluminum. The industry's high-profit cycle is expected to continue. Under this expectation, the firm maintains a positive outlook for further profit expansion among companies in the primary aluminum sector during the first half of 2026. It is noteworthy that in March 2025, CHUANGXIN IND planned to jointly invest in the Saudi Red Sea Aluminum Industry Chain Integrated Project with Chuangxin Group and Chuangxin New Materials, among others. Guolian Minsheng Securities stated that CHUANGXIN IND's integrated layout spanning energy-alumina-primary aluminum, with its primary aluminum capacity located in the Inner Mongolia region which boasts advantageous energy costs, positions it well. Furthermore, as green power is integrated into the grid, the company's aluminum smelting costs are expected to decrease further. The company's move to expand its primary aluminum capacity overseas in Saudi Arabia leads the securities firm to believe CHUANGXIN IND will become a rare player in the industry with actual primary aluminum production growth.
