CTF Services lifts interim profit 15% as it reshapes portfolio and expands financial services

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from NWS Holdings ( (HK:0659) ) is now available.

CTF Services reported a 15% year-on-year rise in profit attributable to shareholders to HK$1.33 billion for the six months ended 31 December 2025, driven by a 3% increase in attributable operating profit to HK$2.28 billion and lower non-operating losses. Management highlighted disciplined cost control, a solid liquidity position of about HK$31 billion, reduced short-term debt and net gearing, and a higher interim dividend under a progressive payout policy, underscoring financial resilience in subdued markets.

Segment performance was mixed, with robust earnings from Financial Services, the exit from loss-making Free Duty and a turnaround at Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong offset by weakness in Construction and Logistics. The group continued reshaping its portfolio through monetising its Shoucheng stake via exchangeable bonds, acquiring logistics properties in Dongguan and the Yangtze River Delta, and strengthening its financial services platform with stakes in Blackhorn and uSMART to capture growing wealth management demand.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0659) stock is a Buy with a HK$9.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NWS Holdings stock, see the HK:0659 Stock Forecast page.
