An update from CK Life Sciences International (Holdings), Inc. ( (HK:0775) ) is now available.

CK Life Sciences reported a loss attributable to shareholders of HK$186.8 million for 2025, driven by higher R&D spending and non-cash extraordinary items, despite stronger profits from its commercial businesses.
