China Water Affairs Cuts Utilisation but Maintains Headroom in Direct Drinking Water JV Caps

China Water Affairs Group ( (HK:0855) ) has shared an announcement.

China Water Affairs Group has issued a supplemental announcement explaining revisions to its annual transaction caps for continuing connected transactions with a joint venture that supplies pipeline direct drinking water products. The group notes that utilisation of prior caps and transaction volumes has fallen since FY2024 due to a stalled spin-off plan, a strategic scaling-down of its direct drinking water business and the ongoing downturn in Mainland China’s property market.

In response, the company is adopting a more prudent development plan while still setting proposed annual caps at RMB40 million for each of the next three years, matching the FY2024 peak to preserve growth headroom. The board argues that long-term prospects remain attractive, citing supportive government policies aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting pipeline direct drinking water in public and office settings, and believes the new caps are fair, commercially reasonable and in shareholders’ interests.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0855) stock is a Hold with a HK$6.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Water Affairs Group stock, see the HK:0855 Stock Forecast page.
