Luda Technology Group Expands Mongolia-China Coal Trading Business with 1.05 Million Metric Ton Agreement with Shanghai Shouying Huifu Energy Development Co., Ltd.
A matching supplier agreement covers the expanded volume, while prices will be agreed batch by batch based on market conditions.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Luda Technology Group (LUD) has signed a coal supply agreement through its subsidiary covering 1,050,000 metric tons of Mongolian thermal coal. Shanghai Shouying Huifu Energy Development will order in batches from November 2, 2026 through November 2, 2027. The agreement brings total customer commitments in Luda's Mongolia-China coal trading business to 1,490,000 metric tons.
Subsidiary Luda Development also signed a matching supply agreement with Source Profit Link for the same volume and period. Luda remains the trading intermediary. Prices are set in RMB for each batch based on market conditions, rather than fixed for the full contract. Each batch requires written confirmation of its commercial and delivery terms.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Hong Kong, Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Luda Technology Group Limited (NYSE American: LUD) (the "Company" or "Luda Technology"), a manufacturer and trader of stainless steel and carbon steel flanges and fittings products, announced that its subsidiary, Luda Development Limited, has signed a new coal supply agreement with Shanghai Shouying Huifu Energy Development Co., Ltd. Under the new agreement, the Shanghai Shouying Huifu Energy Development Co., Ltd. will order a total of 1,050,000 metric tons of Mongolian thermal coal in batches over one year, from November 2, 2026 through November 2, 2027. This new agreement is in addition to the existing 440,000 metric ton commitment from customers, as announced on October 21, 2026. It brings the Company's total customer commitments in its Mongolia-China coal trading business to 1,490,000 metric tons.
To support the expanded commitment, Luda Development Limited has also signed a matching supply agreement with the Mongolian supplier Source Profit Link Limited providing the same 1,050,000 metric tons over the same one-year period, sourced from the Ikh Gobi coal washing plant in Tsogttsetsii Soum, South Gobi (Ömnögovi) Province, Mongolia. Luda will continue to act as the trading intermediary between the Mongolian supplier and the customer in China.
Key Terms of the Agreements
- Volume and ordering: Both agreements commit to a total of 1,050,000 metric tons of confirmed orders over the one-year term. Orders are placed batch by batch. Each batch must be confirmed in writing by authorized representatives of both parties, stating the quantity, the tax-inclusive RMB unit price, the delivery date, the delivery location and the payment arrangements.
- Pricing: The agreements set quantity commitments but do not fix a unit price or a total contract value. Each batch is priced in RMB based on market conditions, through a written price confirmation signed before payment and shipment of that batch.
- Delivery: Coal is delivered DAP (Incoterms 2020) to a designated bonded warehouse at Mandula Port, Inner Mongolia, China. The final settlement weight is the inbound weighbridge weight recorded by that warehouse.
- Quality: The coal must have a calorific value of 5,000 kcal/kg. Disputes over quality may be referred to an independent ISO-compliant third-party inspection agency.
- Settlement: All payments are in RMB, and each batch is settled on its actual delivered quantity.
The new agreement comes about two weeks after the Company entered the coal trading business. It is a substantial increase in the volume committed by one of the Company's first coal customers. Luda intends to carry out the expanded volumes using the operating procedures it is building under its existing coal agreements, including quality testing, weight verification, logistics coordination and settlement.
Ma Biu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Luda Technology Group, commented: "We are pleased that one of our first coal trading customers has chosen to substantially expand its relationship with us so soon after our entry into the Mongolia-China coal market. This one-year, 1.05 million metric ton commitment builds on the relationship we established in October and reflects the customer's confidence in our sourcing and execution capabilities. Our priorities remain disciplined execution of our contracted volumes, careful management of working capital and counterparty risk, and building a scalable trading platform that can extend over time into additional energy, metals and mineral commodities."
