Fire Rock swings to loss on higher costs and asset impairments, skips dividend

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from Fire Rock Holdings Ltd ( (HK:1909) ) is now available.

Fire Rock Holdings reported a 4% year-on-year increase in revenue to HKD146.2 million for 2025, but gross profit fell 15.3% to HKD95.5 million as direct costs almost doubled. The group swung to a net loss of HKD43.5 million from a HKD1.9 million profit a year earlier, pressured by higher research spending, fair-value losses on financial assets, and sizeable impairments on property, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets.

Attributable loss to shareholders widened to HKD64.4 million, partly offset by profits attributable to non-controlling interests of HKD20.9 million, while total comprehensive loss reached HKD42.3 million. In view of the downturn in profitability, the board decided not to recommend a final dividend for 2025, signalling a focus on conserving cash and addressing operational and asset-quality challenges.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1909) stock is a Hold with a HK$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fire Rock Holdings Ltd stock, see the HK:1909 Stock Forecast page.
