On August 25, CHINAHONGQIAO declined 3.1% in regular trading, trading at HKD 23.18 per share, with turnover of HKD 217 million. The decline came despite the company posting robust first-half results just days earlier.

The aluminum sector saw broad-based selling pressure, with CHALCO falling 2.39%, NANSHAN AL INTL down 3.87%, and CHUANGXIN IND declining 2.53%. The pullback was driven by the traditional August consumption off-season weighing on downstream procurement, combined with falling alumina prices eroding profit expectations. Additionally, market concerns over increased electrolytic aluminum supply heading into the next year intensified selling pressure across the sector.

CHINAHONGQIAO reported H1 revenue of RMB 87.5 billion (up 8% YoY) and net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 17.21 billion (up 39.2% YoY), with gross margin expanding from 25.7% to 31.5%. However, profit-taking pressure following the stock's consecutive gains post-earnings release and sector-wide headwinds outweighed the positive fundamental backdrop.
