Banyuan Finance | Over 90% of A-share companies report positive earnings in Q1, with multiple sectors experiencing explosive growth

As of April 2, 2026, 32 companies in China’s A-share market have released their first-quarter earnings outlook, with a more-than-90% favorable results rate. Against the backdrop of steady macroeconomic recovery, an explosion in AI compute demand, and an upturn in industry cycles, four major sectors—semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals, nonferrous metals, and advanced manufacturing—have become the main drivers of earnings growth, with both volume and price rising, domestic substitution, and policy tailwinds serving as the core logic.

The impressive performance in the first-quarter earnings outlook echoes the earlier wave of dividend payouts by publicly offered funds in the first quarter, totaling 53.55B yuan. Equity funds have become the main force behind the dividends, while broad-based ETF products have delivered large dividends. This not only reflects the resilience of core assets’ profitability, but also confirms that rising listed-company performance provides solid support for fund returns.

Industry insiders say that the first-quarter earnings outlooks reflect intensifying differentiation in the A-share market’s structure—highly favorable sectors and quality leading companies continue to stay out front. As the AI industry progresses and economic recovery deepens, companies with high earnings growth are expected to receive continued investor attention and become the market’s main theme.
