The cumulative year-over-year growth rate of total profits for China's industrial enterprises above a designated size reached 18.8% in Q2 2026, continuing to expand from 18.2% in the previous period. Although the performance slightly missed the market expectation of 19%, profits in high-tech manufacturing, such as electronic equipment, performed exceptionally well, driven by global AI investments. Looking ahead, attention must be paid to the price war in industries such as automobiles and weak domestic demand, which may add downside risks to the economy in the medium term.
