Huadian Power stock (ISIN CNE1000003D8) was last at HKD 4.25 on the Hong Kong exchange on September 30, 2026, up 2.41 percent from the previous close. The market move contrasts with weaker first-half earnings, which remain the central operating signal for the company.

First-half profit fell 20.5 percent

According to Huadian Power, the company published its 2026 interim results on August 27, 2026. The report covers the six months ended June 30, 2026, and places the stock's recent trading performance against a weaker earnings base.

Revenue for the period was CNY 54.3 billion, down 9.5 percent from the first half of 2025, while attributable net profit fell 20.5 percent to CNY 3.1 billion, according to Futunn. Basic earnings per share declined 24.24 percent to CNY 0.25 for the same period.

Power operations held up better

The operating picture was less negative than the headline profit decline. Main-business revenue reached CNY 53.977 billion, down 9.42 percent, while main-business gross profit declined just 0.18 percent year over year to CNY 6.343 billion, according to Futunn.

The same report puts the main-business gross margin at 11.75 percent, 1.09 percentage points higher than a year earlier. That improvement points to better cost protection even as lower generation volume and weaker investment income weighed on group earnings.

Huadian Power's first-half generation volume fell 10.65 percent, while fuel costs declined 12.49 percent and the average on-grid tariff increased 0.19 percent, according to Futunn. For investors, the margin comparison matters because it shows how lower fuel costs partly offset weaker output.

Dividend adds a shareholder signal

Huadian Power proposed an interim dividend of CNY 0.09 per share for 2026, with the proposal dated August 27, 2026, according to Aurelian. The payout gives the earnings update a direct shareholder-return component while the company manages lower generation and investment income.

Stock gained on September 30

Huadian Power stock was last at HKD 4.25 on September 30, 2026, with a session high of HKD 4.26, a low of HKD 4.11 and volume of 9,773,000 shares. The Hong Kong listing had a market capitalization of HKD 49.4 billion on that date.
