§Winston Score History

The full picture

China Hongqiao Group is the world's largest aluminum producer by output. The company makes aluminum products used in construction, transportation, electronics, and packaging. It is headquartered in Shandong Province, China, and supplies aluminum to manufacturers across the country and internationally.

The company earns revenue by smelting and selling primary aluminum and alumina, the raw material used to make aluminum. With a market cap around $30 billion, it is one of the biggest players in the global basic materials sector. Its scale gives it cost advantages, as larger smelters can produce aluminum more cheaply per ton. China Hongqiao also owns its own power plants, which helps control electricity costs — the single biggest expense in aluminum production. Key risks include fluctuations in global aluminum prices, rising energy costs, and increasing environmental regulations in China that could limit production capacity.
