LAOPU GOLD (06181) has issued a profit alert. The group estimates that for the six months ending June 30, 2026 (the first half of 2026), it will achieve sales performance (including tax revenue) of approximately RMB 22.7 billion to RMB 23.35 billion, representing an increase of about 60% to 65% compared to the same period last year (the six months ended June 30, 2025).

Revenue is expected to be approximately RMB 19.8 billion to RMB 20.45 billion, an increase of roughly 60% to 66% year-on-year. The adjusted net profit under non-International Financial Reporting Standards measures (excluding the impact of share-based payment expenses related to employee equity incentives) is estimated to be between RMB 4.31 billion and RMB 4.36 billion, marking an increase of about 83% to 85% compared to the same period last year.

According to the Board's knowledge, the primary reasons for the increases in revenue and adjusted net profit are the group's expanding brand influence, which has created a market advantage and driven overall revenue growth. Additionally, continuous product optimization and iteration have sustained revenue increases. Furthermore, higher spending per customer, increased consumption of gold products, and a rising repurchase rate have all contributed to the group's performance growth.
