Since 2025, the shipping market has been affected by tariffs and geopolitical conflicts, and the overall volatility is relatively large. Faced with the uncertainty of the external environment, COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers has made breakthroughs in three aspects: scale expansion, model innovation, and service upgrade, deepened strategic cooperation with industry leading customers, and strengthened the marketing of long-term basic cargo sources and high value-added cargo sources. The proportion of cargo volume such as wind power equipment, energy storage cabinets, construction machinery and commercial vehicles increased year-on-year. The company’s semi-annual operation showed strong resilience and achieved steady growth in performance.
In recent years, COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers has been committed to scale development, fleet optimization and innovation-driven, and its profitability has been greatly improved. With its strong development momentum, COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers has recently been successfully selected into the Shanghai Stock Exchange and China Securities Index Co., Ltd. SSE 100 Index sample.
The SSE 100 Index selects the top 100 securities in terms of operating income growth rate and return on equity from the SSE 380 Index as index samples, in order to reflect the overall performance of core investment securities in the emerging blue-chip sector of the Shanghai market. The sampling logic is clearly centered around the two core indicators of “growth” and “profitability”, namely, using the operating income growth rate to reflect a company’s business expansion capability, and using the return on equity to reflect the efficiency of shareholder returns.
Being selected into the SSE 100 Index sample fully demonstrates COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers’ profitability, growth capability and asset operation efficiency, and reflects the capital market’s recognition of COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers’ high-quality development and continuous value creation capabilities.
In the future, COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers will remain committed to expanding and strengthening its specialized fleet and supply chain network, enhancing value creation, value delivery, and value realization, and creating long-term value and sustainable returns for all shareholders.
