Great Eagle’s Core Profit Surges as Hidden Hotel Asset Value Lifts Balance Sheet

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Great Eagle Holdings ( (HK:0041) ) has issued an announcement.

Great Eagle Holdings reported a sharp rebound in 2025 core operating performance, with revenue from core business more than doubling to HK$16.8 billion and core profit attributable to shareholders climbing 33.7% to HK$2.08 billion, lifting core earnings per share to HK$2.77. Despite a statutory loss driven by fair value accounting effects, the board raised total dividends to HK$1.11 per share, including a special distribution in specie of Langham Hospitality stapled units, and highlighted a stronger balance sheet with lower net gearing, underscoring improved financial resilience and capital returns for shareholders.

On a statutory basis, group revenue rose 80.7% to HK$19.66 billion while the attributable statutory loss narrowed slightly, reflecting the gap between accounting valuations and underlying cash-generating performance in its property and hotel portfolio. The company also reported reduced net gearing under both core and statutory measures, and noted that recognizing the higher market value of its long-held hotel assets would further lower leverage ratios and significantly lift book value per share, indicating substantial hidden asset value for investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0041) stock is a Hold with a HK$16.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Great Eagle Holdings stock, see the HK:0041 Stock Forecast page.
