China Yuchai Intl.

China Yuchai reported H1 2026 revenue up 30.9% to RMB 14.7 billion and net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 560.6 million (+53.2%). The company raised its 2026 sales target for engines for AI data centers from 2,600 to about 3,500 units and expects to fully utilize its capacity for high-performance engines (around 5,000 units) this year. Gross margin and operating margin improved thanks to larger engines, a better product mix and cost control; cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB 8.1 billion with reduced borrowings. Risks remain: price pressure on high-performance engines, competitive pressure from rivals' capacity expansions and declining sales in the agricultural machinery segment. » Altro su de.investing.com
