Shares In Chinese Billionaire's Aluminum Supplier Rebound From Three-Year Low

Shares in Shandong Nanshan Aluminum, one of China’s largest non-government-controlled makers of aluminum products, on Friday bounced back from a three-and-a-half year closing low on hopes that China’s economic growth will pick up later this year.

The company fell on Thursday after it said net profit dropped by 52% in the first quarter  from a year earlier to 91 million yuan, or $15 million.  Revenue was little changed at 3.4 billion yuan. China’s biggest aluminum producer,  Chalco, whose shares trade in Hong Kong, New York and the mainland, reported a loss of 988 million yuan at the end of last month on inventory write-downs and lower prices.

China in recent years has emerged as a key global market and supplier of aluminum products.

Nanshan’s main shareholder Song Zuowen ranked No. 882 on the 2013 Forbes Billionaires List with wealth of $1.7 billion.
