CMOC’s preliminary 2025 results were in line with expectations, underpinned by guidance-beating copper output that establishes a higher production baseline in 2026, with management guiding a further 2.6-10.7% yoy increase. DRC cobalt export quotas mark a structural tightening of global supply and have driven a sharp price response, favouring large producers like CMOC. Funding flexibility is enhanced via a US$1.2b zero-coupon convertible bond, with limited dilution risk. Maintain BUY with a highe...
Greater China Company Update | Anta Sports (2020 HK/BUY/HK$82.55/Target: HK$103.40) In 4Q25, the Anta brand’s retail sales missed expectations, recording a low single-digit decline.

CMOC’s 9M25 net profit rose 72.6% yoy to Rmb14,279.7m, driven by higher copper prices and a record output of 543,000 tonnes (+14.1% yoy). Gross margin expanded to 22.0% (+4.3ppt yoy) on stronger copper and cobalt prices, while the DRC export quota continued to constrain cobalt sales. KFM Phase 2 will add around 100,000 tonnes to copper capacity by 2027. We maintain BUY on CMOC with a higher target price of HK$20.30.
Greater China Company Results | China Resources Building Materials Technology (1313 HK/BUY/HK$1.75 /Target: HK$2.06) CR Building Mat Tech’s 9M25 results were below expectations, with earnings up 7.3% yoy to Rmb331m on lower coal costs. Weather disruptions weighed on 3Q25 cement sales volume, while Guangdong prices stayed soft. Aggregates turned loss-making, prompting capex cuts.

CMOC reported 1H25 earnings of Rmb8,671.3m (+60.0% yoy), slightly ahead of expectations. Mining entities’ gross margin expanded to 52.4% (+5.6ppt yoy) on copper and cobalt’s robust output growth and thus declining unit production cost. 1H25 copper/cobalt output increased to 353,570/61,073 tonnes (+12.7%/+13.1% yoy), meeting 56.1% of the output guidance median. DRC cobalt export curbs have lifted prices and margins despite a slump in sales. Maintain BUY. Target: HK$13.60.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS Results China Overseas Property Holdings (2669 HK/BUY/HK$5.85 /Target: HK$7.00) COPH’s 1H25 results showed a 4.3% yoy earnings growth supported by improved efficiency, better receivables collection and stable cash, but revenue growth was weighed down by weaker VAS segments and slowing external expansion, leading to softer earnings forecasts despite stable core PM services. The company announced HK$0.09 interim DPS and HK$0.01 special DPS, implying a 39% payout ratio. Maintain BU...
Copper prices rebounded on renewed US-China trade optimism, while demand remains under pressure from macro headwinds. Looser supply conditions have weighed on the Yangshan premium and spurred export activity. The near-term outlook remains neutral, with trade negotiations a key swing factor. A more constructive view emerges for 1H26, underpinned by green energy momentum and a global policy-driven recovery. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
CMOC reported 2024 earnings of Rmb13,532.0m (+64.0% yoy), 10% above consensus estimates.

Congo’s cobalt export ban is expected to be temporary, with its impact on CMOC expected to be limited. Re-initiate with a BUY. Target price: HK$8.70.
