CK Hutchison Grows Underlying 2025 Earnings Despite UK Merger Hit

CK Hutchison Holdings ( (HK:0001) ) has provided an update.

CK Hutchison reported 2025 total revenue of HK$507.3 billion and underlying earnings of HK$22.3 billion on a pre-IFRS 16 basis, a 7% increase year-on-year, supported by 9% growth in underlying EBITDA and EBIT. Growth was driven by strong performance in its Ports division, improved results from CK Hutchison Group Telecom including treasury gains, higher contributions from Cenovus Energy, and gains from associates’ non-core asset disposals, aided by favourable foreign exchange.

Despite these operational gains, reported profit attributable to shareholders fell to about HK$11.3 billion after a HK$10.9 billion one-off non-cash loss from the merger of its UK telecom business with Vodafone UK, following a smaller Vietnam telecom impairment in 2024. The group highlighted its strong balance sheet with net debt to net total capital at 13.9% and announced an agreed sale of UK Power Networks that is expected to generate substantial cash flow and profit in 2026, while raising its full-year dividend per share by 5%.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0001) stock is a Hold with a HK$67.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CK Hutchison Holdings stock, see the HK:0001 Stock Forecast page.
