Market Alert : Inflation and Oil Prices Climb as War Risks Escalate — The Road Ahead for the ASX 200

New Hope Corporation Reports FY26 Half-Year Results Amid Lower Coal Prices

New Hope Corporation Limited (ASX: NHC) reported its FY26 half-year results, reflecting stable operational performance despite weaker coal prices during the period. The Group produced 5.5 million tonnes of saleable coal and recorded coal sales of 5.6 million tonnes, supported by increased output from the New Acland Mine as it continues its ramp-up.

Financial performance declined compared with the previous year due to the softer pricing environment. Revenue from ordinary activities reached AU$814.4 million, while net profit after tax fell to AU$54.3 million. Underlying EBITDA also declined to AU$214.8 million, reflecting lower realised coal prices and higher mining costs. However, the company maintained solid liquidity and generated operating cash flow of AU$185.0 million during the period.

Operationally, Bengalla Mine focused on recovery and pit sequence realignment following earlier weather disruptions, while New Acland Mine continued expanding production toward its long-term capacity. The company raised its ownership in Malabar Resources, expanding its exposure to metallurgical coal assets.

Despite market headwinds, the Board declared a fully franked interim dividend of 10.0 cents per share, highlighting confidence in the company’s resilient asset base and disciplined capital management strategy.
