Global New Material International Holdings (SEHK:6616) Stock Faces Losses Despite Revenue Surge

Global New Material International Holdings went into this earnings release with momentum, with the stock up about 40% over the past month and closing at HK$9.79 on 28 August. The headline, however, is not the share price. The company is still loss making over the last 12 months and interest costs are putting pressure on the balance sheet.

Short term traders may focus on the revenue line, which reached C¥2,558.343m in the first half of 2026. Long term holders are more likely to focus on whether those losses and weak interest coverage can be contained before that valuation premium on a 2.3x P/S multiple becomes harder to defend.

Is Global New Material International Holdings a justified premium on 2.3x P/S, or simply expensive given deepening losses and interest strain? See how its current multiples line up in our valuation analysis for Global New Material International Holdings.

Revenue Momentum Supports Global New Material Bulls

For anyone arguing a constructive case on Global New Material International Holdings, the top line is doing most of the work. Revenue in H1 2026 reached C¥2,558.343m compared with C¥912.038m a year earlier. That very large step up signals that the specialty materials portfolio is finding demand across end markets. The recent two phase pigment price rises by the Susonity unit also suggest some ability to pass on higher costs, which can support the thesis that this business has pricing power rather than being a pure commodity supplier.

Losses And Interest Burden Fuel Bearish Concerns

The flip side for Global New Material International Holdings is clear. Profitability moved from a C¥62.198m profit in H1 2025 to a C¥133.894m loss in H1 2026, with trailing 12 month losses widening to C¥577.346m from a C¥197.312m profit. Basic EPS followed the same pattern and swung into loss. That shift, together with earlier comments on interest costs pressuring the balance sheet, supports a cautious view that rapid revenue growth is not yet translating into sustainable earnings or financial flexibility.

After earnings swung into a loss and interest payments remain thinly covered, you might ask if this is just the start of deeper issues. Review our independent risk analysis for Global New Material International Holdings which shows 2 important warning signs
