Over Half of ST Chenming's Controlling Shareholder's Stake Frozen, Judicial Auction Set for August

ST Chenming announced that part of the shares held by its controlling shareholder, Chenming Holdings, have been subject to judicial freezing and pending freezing, with the cumulative frozen shares reaching 456 million shares, accounting for 55.59 percent of its total holdings. The latest additions include 45.8249 million shares under judicial freezing and 37.6971 million shares under pending freezing. Chenming Holdings has not yet received relevant case documents, and the reasons for the freeze and the amount of debt involved remain unknown. The company stated that the freeze will not lead to a change in actual control, nor will it have a material adverse impact on operations. In addition, 20.826 million shares held by Chenming Holdings will be auctioned by the Beijing Dongcheng District People's Court from August 13 to 14, 2026, representing 2.54 percent of its holdings. Market participants noted that the freezing of more than half of the controlling shareholder's stake, combined with the upcoming judicial auction, could raise concerns about equity stability. ST Chenming recorded losses for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025, with cumulative losses of approximately 16.988 billion yuan, but it expects a loss of 700 to 800 million yuan in the first half of 2026, a significant narrowing of losses compared to the same period last year.

ST Chenming forecasts first-half loss of 700 million to 800 million yuan, sharply narrower than a year earlier

ST Chenming has issued its 2026 half-year earnings forecast, projecting a net loss attributable to the parent of 700 million to 800 million yuan, a significant reduction from the 3.858 billion yuan loss in the same period last year. The company attributed the narrower loss mainly to the full resumption of production, higher output and sales, reduced shutdown losses, a notable decline in financial expenses, and lower asset impairment losses. On the same day, the company announced that 20,826,013 A-shares held by controlling shareholder Chenming Holdings are set for judicial auction, representing 2.54 percent of its holdings and 0.71 percent of the company's total share capital. The auction is scheduled for August 13 to 14, 2026. If all shares are sold, Chenming Holdings' stake will drop from 27.87 percent to 27.17 percent, but this will not trigger a change in control. The company has posted losses for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025, with the 2025 loss reaching 8.296 billion yuan, and its asset-liability ratio has climbed to 94.44 percent.

Chenming Paper slashes first-half losses by 79% to 82% as all five production bases resume full operations

Chenming Paper has released its 2026 first-half performance forecast, projecting a year-on-year loss reduction of 79% to 82% and a quarter-on-quarter loss reduction of 44% to 63%. The company’s five major production bases in Shouguang, Zhanjiang, Huanggang, Jiangxi, and Jilin fully resumed operations in March 2026, completing major equipment overhauls and production line upgrades at the same time. Production and sales volumes rose sharply year on year, and revenue improved steadily. By building an online transparent procurement platform, optimizing unit consumption management, promoting the localization of spare parts, and implementing flat management reforms, the company continued to reduce management and manufacturing expenses. On the financial side, it implemented debt extension and interest rate reduction relief plans, completely divested its financial leasing business, and disposed of non-core assets such as the Yujing Hotel, achieving comprehensive control over expenditures, higher gross margins, and improved cash flow. This round of operational improvement represents phased results from the steady implementation of the company’s One-Two-Five development strategy. As the benefits of full production continue to be realized and new product capacity gradually ramps up, the room for profit recovery in the second half of the year is expected to widen further.
