Zijin Mining stock holds at EUR 3.59 as interim profit rises 68.17 percent

Zijin Mining (ISIN CNE100000502) was trading at EUR 3.59 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026, unchanged from the prior close. The company also advanced a global sustainability initiative, while its H1 2026 earnings provide the stronger financial anchor.

Interim profit rises 68.17 percent

According to Moomoo on September 25, Zijin reported H1 2026 revenue of CNY 194.18 billion, up 15.78 percent year over year. Net profit attributable to shareholders increased 68.17 percent to CNY 39.17 billion, while recurring net profit rose 75.89 percent to CNY 38.03 billion.

The quarterly split adds useful context. Q2 2026 revenue reached CNY 95.68 billion, up 7.80 percent year over year but down 2.90 percent from Q1, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 45.50 percent year over year to CNY 19.09 billion.

Gold growth meets copper risk

Zijin's operating cash flow rose 92.00 percent year over year to CNY 55.50 billion in H1 2026, according to the interim-report summary carried by Futunn. Mined gold output increased 13.40 percent to 46.70 tonnes, whereas mined copper output declined 5.70 percent to 534,400 tonnes.

That contrast matters for the next earnings narrative. UBS maintained a Buy rating and an HKD 57.80 target for Zijin's Hong Kong-listed shares on September 25, while citing the Julong copper mine as a key growth driver and a potential Kamoa-Kakula shortfall as a counter-factor, Zhitong Finance reported.

Sustainability initiative adds a second theme

On September 28, Zijin said it had co-launched a global mining sustainable development initiative in Singapore with companies across the mining value chain. The company said the initiative received endorsement from the UN Global Compact and would address green transition, community development, and governance, according to Zijin Mining.

The company operates across gold, copper, zinc and lithium, giving investors two distinct lenses: near-term earnings sensitivity to metal prices and longer-term project execution. Its shares trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under 2899 and on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under 601899.
