According to the Zhitong Finance App, Black Cat Co., Ltd. (002068.SZ) released the 2026 semi-annual results forecast. The company expects to achieve a loss of 100 million yuan to 130 million yuan in net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies in the 2026 semi-year period, compared to a loss of 115 million yuan for the same period last year.

In the first half of 2026, sales of the company's main product, carbon black, increased month-on-month compared to the first quarter. The overall shipping scale showed a quarterly improvement trend. Affected by factors such as increased export volume and increased product favorable prices, the gross margin of carbon black increased month-on-month in the second quarter. In the first half of 2026, the prices of the main raw materials upstream of the main product carbon black fluctuated greatly, market competition was intense, and overall gross profit increased under pressure.

Although the company has promoted single-ton profit margin restoration through product structure optimization and refined control of the entire process, due to a combination of factors such as easing supply and demand in the carbon black industry and increased fluctuations in raw materials, the company's net profit lost during the reporting period. In the future, the company will continue to use scientific and technological innovation as the core gripper, strictly implement cost control throughout the process, optimize raw material procurement and inventory management strategies, continuously improve production and operation efficiency and product added value, focus on improving the overall profit level of products, and effectively promote a steady recovery in operating efficiency.
