China National Building Materials anticipates first-half loss

China National Building Materials (CNBM) expects to report an unaudited loss of approximately US$275m for the first half of 2024, a significant downturn from a net profit of US$192.5m in the same period in 2023.

CNBM has attributed the anticipated loss to decreased selling prices and reduced sales volumes for key construction materials such as cement.
