1. Industrial profits continue to maintain a good growth trend
The slowdown in industrial profit growth is a reasonable return after the previous high growth. Overall, industrial profits still maintain a good growth trend.

2. The supporting role of consumer goods and high-tech manufacturing industry has been strengthened, and the performance of enterprises has continued to improve
Industrial profits not only maintain a good growth trend, but also the company’s various performance indicators continue to improve.
First, consumer goods manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing have strengthened their support for profit growth. In April, of the new profits of all industrial enterprises above designated size, consumer goods manufacturing accounted for 21.6%, an increase of 9.8 percentage points from March; high-tech manufacturing accounted for 23.2%, an increase of 19 percentage points.

3. The contribution of price factors to profit growth declined
First, the ex-factory price of products and the purchase price of raw materials have returned to normal. In April, the ex-factory price of industrial producers increased by 6.4% year-on-year, 1.2 percentage points lower than that in March; the purchasing price of industrial producers increased by 9% year-on-year, and the increase was 1 percentage point lower than that in March. Price levels tended to be normal. Preliminary estimates show that price changes have increased profits of industrial enterprises above designated size by about 52.1 billion yuan year-on-year, which is about 59.5 billion yuan less than in March.
Second, looking at different industries, profit growth in industries such as steel, automobiles and chemicals has slowed down significantly. In April, mainly due to various factors such as the fall in price increases, slowdown in production and sales growth, and rising costs, the profits of the ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry fell by 7.8% year-on-year, while they increased 1.3 times in March; the profits of the automobile manufacturing industry fell by 6.7% %, compared with an increase of 18.7% in March; the profits of the chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry increased by 13%, a growth rate that was 20.8 percentage points lower than that in March; the new profits of the oil and natural gas extraction industry were 5.45 billion yuan, a decrease of 9.86 billion yuan from March.

At present, in order to maintain steady growth of industrial profits, we need to pay close attention to the following issues: First, the purchase price of raw materials rises faster than the ex-factory price of products, causing the entire industry, especially the midstream and downstream industries, to Costs rise. In April, the annual income per 100 yuan of industrial enterprises above designated sizeThe cost of operating income was 86.22 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.18 yuan.
