COSCO Shipping Holdings (ISIN CNE1000002J7) reported CNY 17.528 billion in first-half 2026 profit attributable to shareholders, reversing a CNY 4.135 billion loss in the prior-year period. The Shanghai-listed stock was last at CNY 16.37 on September 30, 2026, up CNY 0.04, or 0.24 percent, from the previous close.

Profit returns in the first half

According to Moomoo on September 25, 2026, revenue for the six months ended June 30 reached CNY 111.922 billion, an increase of 2.59 percent from the same period of 2025. Basic earnings per share were CNY 1.12, while the board declared an interim cash dividend of CNY 0.43 per share.

The result combines modest top-line growth with a sharp earnings reversal. Container shipping revenue reached CNY 107.298 billion, up 2.38 percent year over year, while terminal revenue was CNY 6.327 billion, up 8.30 percent, according to the same interim-report publication by Moomoo.

Volume growth meets rate pressure

Container News reported on September 6, 2026, that COSCO Shipping Lines and OOCL carried 14.28 million TEU in the first half, up 8 percent from 13.28 million TEU a year earlier. Consolidated container shipping turnover rose 2.4 percent to CNY 107.3 billion, but operating profit per TEU fell from USD 197 to USD 139.

That contrast is the key investor signal: cargo volume expanded faster than revenue, indicating that freight-rate conditions constrained monetization. The operating margin also declined from 17.9 percent in the first half of 2025 to 12.5 percent in the first half of 2026, according to Container News.
