The latest Q2 2026 data shows that the cost per 100 yuan of operating revenue in China slightly reached 84.95 yuan. Although it increased slightly from the previous value of 84.94 yuan, it still dropped significantly compared to the same period last year, indicating a continuous improvement in corporate profitability structures. Benefiting from global AI computing demand and the rebound in raw material prices, profits in the electronics and non-ferrous metals industries doubled, becoming the strongest engines supporting the 18.8% year-on-year growth in overall industrial profits. However, structural issues such as weak domestic demand versus strong supply, along with intensified domestic competition in the automotive industry, still add variables to the future profit recovery.
