They posted a 37-percent year-on-year drop in profits, which stood at 171.37 billion yuan from January to April. Tobacco, construction and property sectors saw profits increase, while coal, construction materials, business and trade reported stable profits. Petroleum and petrochemical, machinery, and automobiles saw small profit drops, while steel and shipping continued to suffer losses, said the statement. Specific figures were not disclosed, though.
