Cirtek flags audit probe and delays to 2025 results and annual report

The latest announcement is out from Cirtek Holdings Limited ( (HK:1433) ).

Cirtek Holdings Limited has warned that it will delay publication of its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 after its auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, raised concerns over certain payments made by an overseas subsidiary recorded under property, plant and equipment and other expenses. The board and audit committee have initiated an internal investigation with external professional and legal support, and the company is cooperating with the auditor, but cannot currently give a date for releasing the 2025 results.

Because the audited figures will not be ready by the 31 March 2026 deadline, Cirtek expects to breach Hong Kong listing rules on timely results disclosure and may also miss the 30 April 2026 deadline for dispatching its annual report. The board has decided not to publish unaudited management accounts, arguing they may not reliably reflect the company’s financial position and could mislead shareholders and potential investors, increasing uncertainty over transparency and regulatory compliance.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1433) stock is a Buy with a HK$0.12 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cirtek Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:1433 Stock Forecast page.
