FSM Holdings warns of steep Q1 sales drop and halts online game revenue as sanctions bite

FSM Holdings Limited ( (HK:1721) ) just unveiled an update.

FSM Holdings Limited reported a sharp contraction in its manufacturing business for the first quarter of 2026, with unaudited sales falling by about 52% to 59% year on year as U.S. sanctions on its controlling shareholder curtailed orders from major customers and geopolitical tensions dampened sentiment. In response, the group has scaled down manufacturing operations in Singapore and Malaysia while engaging customers on new orders to support a gradual recovery.

The company’s online business generated no revenue in the first quarter after temporarily suspending its mobile game operations, having concluded from multiple rounds of testing since late 2023 that projected operating costs would exceed expected player spending amid weak market traction. Operating and development costs fell due to lower staffing and reduced research efforts, and the board is now reassessing strategy, pursuing further technical and design improvements, and exploring new opportunities, moves that underscore a period of operational reset and elevated uncertainty for shareholders and potential investors.
