China Shanshui Cement records 75% increase in net profit

China Shanshui Cement has seen a 75 per cent YoY rise in net profit to CNY1.19bn (US$168.5m) for the first half of 2019, which it has attributed to higher cement sales.

Revenue in the 1H19 increased 39.6 per cent to CNY9.44bn, compared with CNY6.76bn in the year-ago period. However, the company expects cement demand to slow in the second half as real estate development sees a slowdown in the country.
