China International Marine Containers or CIMC (SHE:000039, HKG:2039) forecasts its attributable profit to surge 438% to 677% to between 450 million yuan and 650 million yuan in the first quarter from 83.6 million yuan in the year-ago period.
Basic earnings per share at the logistics equipment company are seen to increase to between 0.0796 yuan and 0.1168 yuan from 0.0126 yuan in the year-ago period, according to a Tuesday filing with the Hong Kong bourse.
The foreseen surge is attributable to orders received in 2024 and the lower base in the year-ago period, as well as a flexible foreign exchange hedging strategy, the filing said.
CIMC plans to release Q1 results by the end of April.
