Zhejiang Changhua Auto Parts Co Ltd

Changhua Group disclosed its 2026 semi-annual report, with first-half operating revenue of 872 million yuan, net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of 17.7931 million yuan, and basic earnings per share of 0.04 yuan. Affected by the overall industry downturn, the company's product sales declined somewhat, and some fundraising projects are still in the capacity ramp-up stage. The company continues to deepen its new energy business and has established four business divisions: braking, robotics, lightweighting, and aviation. In the braking segment, the company has already supplied carbon-ceramic brake disc metal kits in volume to an emerging automaker, and has newly opened overseas sales channels for carbon-ceramic disc assemblies, with first-phase annual supporting capacity of 200,000 units, starting mass production in December 2024. In the robotics business, the company has successively obtained metal structural component project designations from two robotics companies, for a traffic-police robot and a humanoid robot respectively. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the company said it will accelerate customer expansion in the new energy sector, promote investment and mergers and acquisitions, and enhance its technology attributes.
