West China Cement Limited (Stock Code: 02233) released a positive profit alert indicating that, based on preliminary figures, profit attributable to owners for the year ended 31 December 2025 is estimated between RMB832.80 million and RMB895.50 million, reflecting an approximate 33.00% to 43.00% increase compared to the RMB626.20 million recorded in 2024.

The anticipated profit growth is attributed to increased overseas cement sales volume, reduced costs in the People’s Republic of China, and the recognition of negative goodwill arising from the acquisition of equity interests in Cimenterie de Lukala SA. These figures are derived from unaudited consolidated management accounts for 2025. Final results are expected to be published by the end of March 2026, and shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s shares.
