CNT Group Limited ( (HK:0701) ) has shared an announcement.
CNT Group Limited, a Hong Kong-listed industrial and property investment group, reported weaker top-line performance for the year ended 31 December 2025 amid a challenging operating environment. The company continues to balance its paints and coatings operations with a portfolio of investment properties, leaving overall results sensitive to demand conditions and fair value movements.
Revenue fell 22.6% year-on-year to HK$267.7 million, with gross profit down 18.4% to HK$118.0 million, though the gross margin improved to 44.1% from 41.8%. The group narrowed its net loss to HK$66.7 million from HK$89.4 million, helped by lower selling and distribution expenses, reduced other expenses, and a reversal of impairment on trade and bills receivables.
A key drag on performance remained fair value losses on investment properties, which widened to HK$55.9 million from HK$46.6 million and continued to weigh heavily on the bottom line. Despite this, CNT Group’s cash and cash equivalents plus pledged deposits rose 6.9% to HK$330.2 million, while bank borrowings increased modestly to HK$141.4 million, keeping the gearing ratio relatively low at 11.8%.
Shareholders’ funds per share edged down to HK$0.63 from HK$0.64 and net asset value per share slipped to HK$0.68, reflecting cumulative losses and property revaluations. Basic and diluted loss per share improved to 2.90 Hong Kong cents from 4.06 cents, indicating some progress in loss containment even as the group remains in the red and exposed to ongoing property market volatility.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0701) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.18 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CNT Group Limited stock, see the HK:0701 Stock Forecast page.
