PetroChina stock (ISIN CNE1000003W8) gained 2.24 percent to CNY 10.95 on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026. The move followed first-half figures showing higher revenue, profit and earnings per share, while the company also announced an interim dividend.

Profit growth leads the results

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, sales reached CNY 1,527,491 million, compared with CNY 1,450,021 million in the year-ago period, while net income rose to CNY 103,934 million from CNY 85,171 million, according to MarketScreener.

The same report lists basic and diluted earnings per share at CNY 0.57, up from CNY 0.47 a year earlier. Quartr put the year-over-year increases at 5.3 percent for first-half revenue and 22.0 percent for net profit attributable to owners in its September 18, 2026 earnings summary.

Dividend adds a shareholder return

PetroChina declared an interim ordinary dividend of CNY 0.26 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The ex-dividend date was September 10, 2026, the record date was September 15, 2026, and payment is scheduled for October 26, 2026, according to MarketScreener.

The earnings mix matters because the revenue increase was accompanied by a larger rise in profit and earnings per share. That combination gives the stock a clearer operating signal than revenue growth alone, although oil and gas profitability remains exposed to commodity prices and demand conditions.

Stock remains below yearly high

PetroChina's market capitalization stood at CNY 2,004,079,725,273 on September 24, 2026, with volume of 158,043,573 shares. The 52-week range was CNY 8.04 to CNY 13.69, placing the reference price CNY 2.74 below the yearly high and CNY 2.91 above the yearly low.

At CNY 10.95, the stock was CNY 0.24 above its previous close of CNY 10.71. For investors, the key comparison is the 22.0 percent first-half profit increase against the 5.3 percent revenue increase, alongside the scheduled CNY 0.26 distribution.
