China Merchants Port Grows Revenue but Profit Falls on Weaker Associate Contributions

China Merchants Port Holdings Co ( (HK:0144) ) has provided an update.

China Merchants Port Holdings reported mixed operating metrics for 2025, with container throughput rising 3.8% to 151.29 million TEUs while bulk cargo volumes fell 5.3% to 530 million tonnes. The company’s revenue increased to HK$13.35 billion from HK$11.84 billion, supported by higher gross profit and lower administrative and finance costs.

Despite top-line growth, profit attributable to equity holders dropped 18.5% to HK$6.46 billion, mainly reflecting a sharp decline in other income and lower profit contributions from associates and joint ventures. Recurrent profit and port operations profit also fell double digits, and basic earnings per share slid to HK$1.538, prompting a reduced final dividend of HK$0.489 per share, signaling a more cautious payout stance to shareholders.
