China Education Group Posts Higher Revenue but Profit Drops on Interim Results

China Education Group Holdings Limited ( (HK:0839) ) just unveiled an update.

China Education Group reported interim revenue of RMB3.79 billion for the six months ended 28 February 2026, a 3.2% increase year on year, with EBITDA edging up 1.4% to RMB2.04 billion. However, net profit fell 23.2% to RMB838 million, even as the group maintained a strong cash reserve of RMB5.15 billion, and management highlighted the use of non-IFRS metrics such as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to better track underlying operational performance and facilitate comparisons across periods and peers.

The company said these alternative performance measures are intended to strip out items that management views as non-indicative of core business results, while cautioning that such metrics have analytical limitations and should not replace IFRS-based profit figures. The emphasis on both IFRS and non-IFRS indicators underscores a focus on illustrating operational resilience despite profit pressure, which may help investors assess the sustainability of earnings and the group’s financial flexibility in the competitive private education sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0839) stock is a Buy with a HK$4.10 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Education Group Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:0839 Stock Forecast page.
