CMOC's First-Half Profit Surges as Copper Margins Widen; Cobalt Sales Hit by DRC Export Curbs
CMOC Group (SHA:603993, HKG:3993) reported an 86% year-over-year jump in attributable profit for the first half of the year, as widening copper margins more than offset a sharp drop in cobalt revenue tied to the Democratic Republic of Congo's export curbs.Attributable profit jumped to 16.2 billion yuan, or 0.75 yuan per share, from 8.67 billion yuan, or 0.41 yuan per share a year earlier, according to a Hong Kong bourse filing late Wednesday.CMOC, formerly China Molybdenum, said revenue surged 43% to 135.3 billion yuan, boosted by a double-digit jump in revenue at its core mining and processing segment. Mineral trading revenue rose modestly at 2.5% year over year.Copper was CMOC's largest revenue driver, with revenue for the metal alone rising 26% to 32.5 billion yuan, driven by growth in production and sales volume. Copper gross profit margin for the period rose to 62.9% from 53.6% a year earlier.Meanwhile, cobalt revenue tumbled 45% to 3.2 million yuan, despite the market price for cobalt nearly doubling year over year to $25.56 per pound.CMOC attributed this to the DRC's export quotas that kept the cobalt market tight, with shipments only resuming in the second quarter. As a result, the company's cobalt sales volume plummeted 87.6% to 5,700 tonnes.CMOC expects the cobalt market to remain "relatively tight" in the second half of the year as DRC export quotas are expected to continue restricting supply.The company holds an 80% stake in the Tenke Fungurume Mining copper-cobalt mine and a 71.25% stake in the CMOC KISANFU MINING copper-cobalt mine in the DRC, according to its website."Demand is expected to improve gradually as post-destocking lean inventories increase restocking demand; rising EV penetration and LCO demand from new consumer electronics upgrades and launches should provide additional support," the company said.These factors are expected to provide a boost to cobalt prices in the second half, CMOC added.On shareholder returns, the board declared an interim dividend of 0.95 yuan for every 10 shares, for a total of 2.03 billion yuan in overall interim dividend payments. The dividend is payable Sept. 24 at HK$1.09804 per 10 shares to shareholders on record as of Sept. 8.

CMOC's Profit Almost Doubles in Q1 Amid Potential Ample Supply
CMOC Group's (SHA:603993, HKG:3993) attributable profit almost doubled in the first quarter as it implied ample copper and sulfur supply amid the Middle East conflict.The copper and cobalt producer's profit attributable to shareholders jumped 97% to 7.76 billion yuan from 3.95 billion yuan a year earlier, according to the company's earnings report published on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on April 24.Earnings per share doubled to 0.36 yuan from 0.18 yuan.Operating revenue climbed 44% to 66.4 billion yuan from 46 billion yuan in the previous year.In a Sunday note, Jeffries recommended that CMOC is a good buy for investors as its first-quarter earnings were "decent," with most of the figures in line with expectations.The company's output of 187,880 tons of copper during the quarter was also in line with Jeffries' estimate.CMOC earned 15.8 billion yuan from the sale of sold 182,177 tons of copper during the period, with the revenue increasing 27% from the same period a year earlier, the company disclosure showed.Jefferies also predict that the company will have sufficient sulfur supply until the third quarter amid the Middle East war affecting global sulfur supply. Besides, CMOC implicated it has copper sufficiency after its TFM mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo received a Class A registration certification from the London Metal Exchange."Stringent cost control remains on the agenda for copper to reduce the potential impact from higher sulfur cost," Jeffries said. "Higher profit contribution from minor metals, e.g. tungsten, also helps to support the bottom line."China has been getting the upper hand when it comes to copper exports as markets began to shift sources for raw materials after the war in Iran started. In an April 9 report, Reuters said copper exports in the first two months of the year soared to 172,000 tons from the year-ago 49,000 tons.However, copper imports slumped 25% to 454,000 tons during the January-February period, the media outlet said.
