Analogue Holdings flags profit surge on Nanjing Canatal stake sale despite weaker core earnings

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Analogue Holdings Limited ( (HK:1977) ) just unveiled an update.

Analogue Holdings Limited expects to report profit attributable to owners of HK$145 million to HK$155 million for the six months ending 30 June 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of about 79.5% to 91.8% from HK$80.8 million. The surge is primarily driven by an estimated HK$112.5 million pre-tax gain from disposing of a 3% stake in its Shanghai-listed associate Nanjing Canatal Data Centre Environmental Tech, which generated total proceeds of about RMB154.3 million.

Stripping out this one-off disposal gain, the Group’s adjusted profit for the period is projected at HK$32.5 million to HK$42.5 million, implying a 47.4% to 59.8% decline versus the prior year. Management attributes the weaker underlying performance to project phasing and higher estimated project costs, including labour, subcontractor and material expenses, underscoring cost pressures facing its engineering operations despite the headline profit jump.
