Datang Power (ISIN CNE1000002Z3) reported net profit attributable to shareholders of CNY 5.509 billion for the first half of 2026, up 20.31 percent year on year, according to 36kr on September 18, 2026. The result gives the company a stronger earnings base as power generation and financing costs move in different directions.

Profit growth comes from operations

Hydropower profit increased 42.71 percent year on year in the first half of 2026, while gas turbine profit surged 225.64 percent, according to 36kr. The Hohhot Aluminum Power segment contributed CNY 806 million in net profit, adding a material contribution outside the core generation businesses.

Revenue for the first half of 2026 reached CNY 58.4 billion, up 2.14 percent year on year, while net margin stood at 11.55 percent for the period ended June 30, 2026. The combination of modest revenue growth and faster profit growth points to improved profitability rather than expansion alone.

Financing costs add support

Datang Power's comprehensive financing cost rate fell to 2.28 percent in the first half of 2026, a reduction of 15 basis points year on year, according to 36kr. That decline matters because the company carried CNY 202.7 billion in total debt at June 30, 2026, according to the financial statement data for the second quarter of 2026.

The company also proposed an interim dividend of CNY 0.068 per share on August 29, 2026. The payout provides a direct shareholder return while the company continues to fund generation and expansion projects.
