China Shenhua disclosed its 2026 semi-annual report on August 28. In the first half of the year, the company achieved operating revenue of RMB 189.338 billion, up 7.9% year on year; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB 28.715 billion, up 4.1% year on year; basic earnings per share stood at RMB 1.339. The company plans to distribute an interim dividend of RMB 0.98 per share (pre-tax) for 2026.

The year-on-year increase in operating revenue during the reporting period was mainly driven by the coal business: affected by coal market supply and demand conditions, the group's coal sales volume and average selling price rose 1.8% and 4.5% year on year respectively, leading to higher coal sales revenue; sales volume of major coal chemical products also increased. Benefiting from the commissioning of new generating units and other factors, the group's electricity sales volume grew 5.5% year on year, with corresponding growth in electricity sales revenue. Key operating indicators of the transportation business all increased year on year, resulting in higher transportation revenue.
