COSCO Shipping Holdings (ISIN CNE1000002J7) was trading at EUR 1.88 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 12:37 p.m. CEST, minus 0.53 percent versus the prior close of EUR 1.89. According to Moomoo on September 25, 2026, the company reported a profit rebound in the first half of 2026.

Revenue grew in the first half

Moomoo reported first-half 2026 revenue of CNY 111.92 billion, an increase of 2.59 percent from the same period a year earlier. Container shipping revenue reached CNY 107.30 billion, up 2.38 percent year over year, while terminal revenue rose 8.30 percent to CNY 6.33 billion.

The mix matters for investors because supply-chain revenue excluding ocean freight increased 11.61 percent to CNY 24.09 billion in the first half of 2026. That expansion gives COSCO a second growth channel alongside its core container network.

Profit returned and dividend followed

Profit attributable to equity holders reached CNY 17.53 billion in the first half of 2026, compared with a CNY 4.14 billion loss in the prior-year period, according to Moomoo. Basic earnings per share were CNY 1.12, and the board declared an interim dividend of CNY 0.43 per share, equal to 49 percent of attributable profit.

The earnings rebound is substantial, but the latest analyst signal remains cautious. The Globe and Mail reported that Morgan Stanley maintained a Sell rating on September 7, 2026, with a HKD 13.20 price target.
