AVIC Shenyang Aircraft's Q1 Profit Drops 62% On Weak Revenue

By

-- AVIC Shenyang Aircraft's (SHA:600760) profit fell in the first quarter as revenue slowed down due to some project delays.

The company's net profit attributable to shareholders in the first quarter dropped 62% to almost 165 million yuan from 430.6 million yuan a year earlier, according to a Shanghai bourse filing on Wednesday.

Earnings per share fell 63% year on year to 0.06 yuan from 0.16 yuan.

Profit declined due to the operating revenue dipping 55% to 2.61 billion yuan from almost 5.83 billion yuan in the previous year. The drop was attributed to adjustments in product mixes and delivery schedule impacts.

In November 2025, AVIC Shenyang announced in a Shanghai Stock Exchange filing that the dates of certain projects were moved due to technical delays.

The projects are a titanium alloy production line, which was moved to December instead of January this year, and the usable date of the aircraft maintenance service enhancement project, which was moved to December 2027 from November this year. The first project's rescheduling was caused by delivery delays, while the second one lagged due to the need to upgrade core equipment.

The Chinese aircraft manufacturer, which is under state-owned AVIC, continues to produce fighter jets earlier this year. AVIC announced in Weibo that it hosted the maiden flights of its J-35 carrier-based stealth fighter jet for the year, along with other types of aircraft, according to a Jan. 7 report from the Global Times. The J-35, which was developed to be used for aircraft carrier operations, is the naval variant of the Air Force's J-35A.

Chinese aircraft companies are expected to benefit from the Chinese military's plan to boost its fleet. Recently, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy made a teaser, hinting the release of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that could help boost its territorial claims amid maritime disputes, according to an April 23 report from Reuters.

The company's shares fell less than 2% during the afternoon trade.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We decrease our 12-month target by CAD35 to CAD370, as we value AEM using an EV/EBITDA of 8.4x applied to our 2027 EBITDA estimate, in line with AEM's three-year average forward EV/EBITDA of 8.4x and a premium to the peers' average of 5.3x. We increase our EPS estimates: 2026 by USD1.13 to USD14.65 and 2027 by USD2.71 to USD17.58. AEM delivered a strong Q1 with record operating margins driven by elevated gold prices and disciplined cost control. 2026 production guidance remains 3.3-3.5 million ounces with costs tracking to plan. AEM's balance sheet remains strong with $2.9B in net cash, supporting an industry-leading growth pipeline targeting 20%-30% production growth over the next decade through projects at Detour underground, Canadian Malartic expansion, Hope Bay, and Upper Beaver. The proposed Finland consolidation adds a potential 500k oz platform. Management plans to return 40% of free cash flow via dividends and an expanded $2B buyback program, while simultaneously funding high-return growth projects.

RBC Sees USD/CAD Range-Bound In Near Term, Gradual Decline Longer Term

RBC Capital Markets in its CAD Weekly Soundbites (Rates & FX) note on Friday said an "event-rich" week "largely came as expected", with a "steady fiscal profile", the Bank of Canada delivering a "modestly hawkish hold" and first-quarter GDP "continuing to track above potential".The bank said the BoC's hawkish tilt reinforces its view for a gradual decline in USD/CAD in the long term. However, it added that recent BoC and Federal Reserve meetings suggest both will be on hold in the short term, leaving a range-bound bias on USD/CAD.In its rates view, RBC said the expected BoC hold was delivered this week, but the balance of changes tilted hawkish. The BoC modestly upgraded its GDP profile, noted the expected absorption of excess slack and said the neutral range discussion was slanted higher, even though the 2.25%-3.25% range was left unchanged.RBC said it maintains its long-held view that the base case is the BoC on hold in 2026, with hikes in 2027, but added that the chance of second-half hikes far exceeds the chance of a cut.On foreign exchange, RBC said this week's marginally hawkish BoC tilt reinforces its longer-run view for a gradual move lower in USD/CAD into next year, partly conditional on the BoC shifting to hikes in 2027, with risk in the second half of 2026.However, in the near term, the bank said it continues to see the pair range-bound, as central bank meetings suggest the BoC and the Fed are likely to be on hold in the coming months, keeping US-Canada rate differentials relatively stable. That should continue to act as a floor under USD/CAD, with the 1.3500 area seen as the bottom of the range.RBC added that a weekly close below 1.3598 has reasserted the downtrend in USD/CAD and favours a re-test of this year's lows at 1.3526 and 1.3482."Below there, the September 2024 low at 1.3420 would come into view. Initial resistance is located at 1.3598 and 1.3661, followed by 1.3728, with rallies to the latter two levels viewed as a selling opportunity," said George Davis, chief technical strategist at RBC Capital Markets.

Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Sell Opinion On Shares Of O-i Glass, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We decrease our 12-month target by $6.50 to $7.50, on an EV/EBITDA of 5.5x our 2026 EBITDA estimate, below O-I's one-year average of 5.6x. We decrease our 2026 EPS by $0.58 to $1.25 and 2027 by $0.40 to $1.95. O-I's Fit to Win program achieved $35M in net savings during Q1 and is 50% of the way to its goal of $750M in benefits, a highlight of the quarter. O-I secured 15 new accounts in the quarter that should drive 2H 2026 volume 1.5% higher. We note that volumes were down 8% Y/Y; this trend improved in March, with volumes down only 2%. Management noted that the European segment was the primary driver of poor results, with a $68M decrease from the prior year attributable to softer demand and intense competition in the Southern European wine market. Inflation risks from conflicts in the Middle East are a major risk, potentially adding $75M-$100M in costs if prices remain elevated. We currently see 2027 EBITDA as flat vs. 2025 ($1.23B), but this view could improve if energy prices decrease in 2H 2026.
