China Metal Resources Utilization Ltd. ( (HK:1636) ) just unveiled an announcement.

China Metal Resources Utilization has warned that it will miss the 31 March 2026 deadline to publish its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025, citing delays in settling audit fees that have prevented its auditors from starting field work. The company expects to resolve the fee issue in the coming weeks and aims to complete the audit by 31 May 2026, but has chosen not to release unaudited management accounts to avoid potentially misleading shareholders and investors, acknowledging that the delay constitutes a breach of Hong Kong listing rules and signaling possible implications for trading and regulatory compliance.

The board said it does not consider it appropriate to issue preliminary figures not yet agreed with auditors, as they may not accurately reflect the group’s financial position. The company will issue further announcements on material developments related to the 2025 annual results, leaving investors focused on the firm’s ability to regularize its reporting timetable and maintain its standing under Hong Kong listing requirements.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1636) stock is a Sell with a HK$0.49 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Metal Resources Utilization Ltd. stock, see the HK:1636 Stock Forecast page.
