Long Chen Paper announced a 25.3% year-on-year revenue increase for September, with year-to-date profitability showing significant improvement over last year.
What Happened
Revenue and Earnings: Long Chen Paper reported September revenue of NT$4.79 billion, a 25.3% increase year-on-year, with cumulative revenue for the first three quarters reaching NT$37.92 billion and pre-tax EPS at NT$0.46, marking a significant recovery from last year's losses.
Operational Challenges: While extreme weather in August and September pressured logistics and raw material costs, the company maintained pre-tax profitability in September, bolstered by government subsidies in mainland China.
Market Dynamics: The industrial paper market is stabilizing as major manufacturers manage supply through maintenance shutdowns, while China's manufacturing PMI has returned to expansion, signaling improved demand for packaging materials.
Outlook: Analysts expect a stronger fourth quarter driven by peak seasonal demand, e-commerce shopping festivals, and favorable shifts in US-China trade policies, supporting a continued upward trend in the company's operational performance.
