YANKUANG ENERGY (01171) shares surged 5.25% during Monday's trading session, reaching HK$11.22, with a robust trading volume of HK$292 million. The significant uptick comes on the heels of the company's recent announcement of impressive third-quarter performance and successful integration of Northwest Mining.

The coal giant reported that its commercial coal output for Q3 2025 reached 46.03 million tons, marking a 4.92% year-on-year increase. More notably, sales volume rose by 10.08% compared to the same period last year, totaling 45.82 million tons. The company's self-produced coal sales showed even stronger growth, increasing by 12.21% year-on-year to 44.19 million tons.

Investors appear particularly encouraged by the successful consolidation of Northwest Mining, which contributed 25.07 million tons of commercial coal output in the first three quarters of 2025. This strategic move is expected to add over 30 million tons of coal production annually, supporting YANKUANG ENERGY's ambitious goal of achieving a 300 million ton coal production capacity. The integration not only boosts the company's output but also strengthens its competitive position in the coal sector. Despite previous southbound capital outflows, today's surge suggests renewed investor confidence in YANKUANG ENERGY's growth strategy and operational improvements.
