Del Monte Pacific says Q2 profit jumped to $16.8M on strong sales

DEL MONTE Pacific Ltd. (DMPL) said its net profit for the second quarter (Q2) ended Oct. 31 jumped nearly seven-fold to $16.8 million from $2.3 million a year ago, driven by higher sales.

For the first half of its fiscal year 2026, Del Monte’s net profit from continuing operations rose to $56.3 million, up from last year, supported by a 10% increase in sales to $423.3 million, it said in a statement on Thursday.

Sales growth was led by the Philippines, where packaged pineapple and mixed fruits recorded strong demand. Packaged pineapple benefited from nutrition-led campaigns, while mixed fruits expanded beyond seasonal fruit salads to year-round desserts, lifting market share by 4 percentage points, according to the company.

Internationally, fresh pineapple exports rose 23%, with North Asia remaining the company’s largest market for imported pineapples at a 51% share.

Net debt of continuing operations declined 4.79% to $994.9 million from $1.04 billion a year ago, reflecting improved cash flow and stronger operating results.

Del Monte deconsolidated its US subsidiary Del Monte Foods Corp. effective May 1, 2025, after the unit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April due to heavy debt and shifting consumer preferences.

The US unit secured $912.5 million in financing to continue operations while selling most of its assets under court supervision.

Joselito D. Campos, Jr., DMPL and Del Monte Philippines, Inc. (DMPI) chief executive officer, said: “Our excellent results demonstrate the underlying strength and potential of our Asian business. With DMPL’s deconsolidation and complete write-down of its US investment and other assets, we have a clear path forward. We are proactively working on capital initiatives at the DMPI level to enhance our financial flexibility as we invest in growth.

At the Philippine Stock Exchange on Thursday, DELM shares closed 1.38% higher at P5.15 apiece. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
