Gulf Resources (ISIN US40251W5076) received approval on October 14, 2026, to resume production at Factories No. 2 and No. 10, a move that could increase annual production capacity by more than 20 percent. According to GlobeNewswire, the company expects trial production in the fourth quarter of 2026 and revenue from the factories in the first half of 2027.

Capacity depends on trial production

The approval is an operational step rather than an immediate revenue event. Gulf Resources said it would begin preparation work and upgrade parts of the facilities before testing starts, leaving execution and regulatory requirements as the next measurable milestones.

The more than 20 percent capacity figure comes from the company's fiscal year 2025 annual report, as cited in the October 14 release. The same release identifies bromine and crude salt as core products, while natural gas and brine resources remain part of the broader business.

What does the restart mean for revenue?

The answer is timing. StockTitan reproduces the October 14 event filing, which points to fourth-quarter 2026 trial production and first-half 2027 revenue. Those milestones place the potential capacity benefit after the current reporting period.

Gulf Resources reported USD 25.42 million in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 231.79 percent from the prior year. Its operating loss was USD 3.47 million, while its net loss was USD 43.92 million, according to Finanzen. The figures show why the factory restart matters: capacity expansion must eventually translate into profitable sales.

Next milestones are already dated

Gulf Resources expects to complete test and trial production in the fourth quarter of 2026. It expects the two factories to produce revenue in the first half of 2027, making those periods the next dated operating milestones.
