Xiamen Tungsten Co., Ltd.: Meeting Outcomes Amid a Softening Tungsten‑Sector
On 10 March 2026, Xiamen Tungsten Co., Ltd. (ticker 600549) convened its second extraordinary general meeting for the year. The meeting, held at 81 Zhanghong Road, Xiamen’s Siming District, was attended by shareholders and the board of directors. No resolutions were passed or rejected; the session mainly served to reaffirm governance commitments and update the board on ongoing corporate affairs. The company’s directors and the board certified that the announcement contains no false statements or omissions and that they bear legal responsibility for its accuracy.
Market Reaction
Although the meeting itself produced no substantive decisions, Xiamen Tungsten’s stock was dragged along with the broader tungsten‑related segment that has been under pressure since the week of 13 March. Reports from People’s Financial News, Southern Finance, and Jiemian News all note a sharp decline in the sector:
- Xiamen Tungsten fell over 1 % on the day of the meeting and continued to trade lower on 13 March, joining peers such as Zhongwu Gaoxin and Zhangyuan Tungsten, which slipped more than 9 %.
- The tungsten‑theme index (C11059.CSI) recorded a modest rise of 0.36 % on 11 March, but the overall tone remained negative.
- The tungsten‑stock ETF Tianhong (159157), which tracks core tungsten and other non‑ferrous metals, received net inflows of 1.95 billion CNY on 10 March and continued to attract capital for the 17th consecutive day.
The weakening trend is attributed to a combination of global supply‑chain adjustments, fluctuating commodity prices, and shifting demand in downstream sectors such as battery manufacturing and high‑purity metal applications.
Company Position and Fundamentals
Xiamen Tungsten is a Shanghai‑listed materials company that specializes in the smelting and processing of tungsten products. Its product portfolio includes:
- Ammonium paratungstate
- Blue tungsten oxide

In addition, the firm has diversified into battery production and real‑estate development and management, broadening its revenue streams beyond the core tungsten market.
Key financial highlights (as of 11 March 2026):
| Item | Value |
|---|---|

| 52‑week high | 81.56 CNY |
| 52‑week low | 17.53 CNY |
| Market cap | 119 billion CNY |
| P/E ratio | 51.37 |
The high price‑to‑earnings multiple reflects the company’s exposure to cyclical commodity prices and the premium investors assign to its niche product offerings.
Contextual Market Dynamics
While the tungsten sector has faced headwinds, other related themes are displaying resilience:
- Non‑ferrous metals ETFs such as Tianhong (159157) are receiving substantial net inflows, indicating sustained investor interest in metals that support infrastructure and technology sectors.
- Battery and renewable‑energy ETFs (e.g., WanJia Battery ETF 159156) are gaining ground, with Xiamen Tungsten’s shares contributing modest gains within the portfolio, reflecting its involvement in battery materials.
Moreover, macro‑economic commentary from Southern Fund and Sina Finance suggests that although the Chinese A‑share market is exhibiting short‑term volatility, its underlying resilience remains intact amid geopolitical uncertainties.
Outlook
The absence of new resolutions at the 10 March meeting signals that Xiamen Tungsten’s board is maintaining its current strategic course. The company’s diversified operations—especially its battery‑related ventures—may cushion it against the short‑term downturn in tungsten prices. Nevertheless, investors should monitor:
- Commodity price movements for tungsten and related metals.
- Demand signals from battery and high‑purity metal sectors.
- Sectoral ETF flows, which may presage broader market sentiment shifts.
In the coming weeks, the company’s performance will likely continue to be influenced by the twin forces of global supply‑chain adjustments and the evolving dynamics of the renewable‑energy transition.
