Gulf Resources Sales Jump 250 Percent
Gulf Resources (NASDAQ:GURE), a China-based producer of bromine and crude salt, posted its second quarter fiscal 2025 results on August 13, 2025. The release highlighted a significant operational rebound: quarterly GAAP revenue surged to $8.3 million from $2.4 million in the prior-year quarter, a period impacted by regulatory shutdowns, while the net loss (GAAP) contracted sharply to $0.8 million from $33.1 million. There were no available analyst estimates for the quarter, but performance improved across core revenue and profit metrics. Despite these gains, the company remains in loss-making territory on a GAAP basis and cash flow remains negative, signaling that while recovery is underway, lasting profitability is yet to be achieved.
Gulf Resources is a mining and chemical company headquartered in China. Its primary operations center around the extraction and sale of bromine, a chemical used in flame retardants, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals, as well as crude salt, a basic raw material for various industries. The company also owns assets in natural gas and specialty chemical segments, but these are not currently active contributors to revenue.
Recently, the company’s focus has shifted toward operational efficiency in its core bromine and crude salt businesses. Regulatory compliance remains a high-priority area due to heavy oversight from Chinese authorities. Gulf Resources is also engaged in strategic expansion, having acquired new crude salt fields to boost production, but further diversification into chemicals and natural gas is on hold until market and regulatory conditions improve.
