Greentown China Flags 95% Profit Slump but Stresses Strong Liquidity

The latest update is out from Greentown China Holdings ( (HK:3900) ).

Greentown China warned that profit attributable to owners for 2025 is expected to fall by about 95% from RMB1.596 billion a year earlier, driven by a lower gross profit margin, reduced contributions from joint ventures and associates, and asset impairment provisions. The company linked the weaker earnings to its strategy of accelerating destocking of long-term inventory amid a still-adjusting Chinese property market, but highlighted ongoing improvements in its balance sheet, including a record-low short-term debt ratio below 20% and record-high cash-to-short-term-debt coverage above 2.5 times, signaling resilient liquidity despite profit pressure.

The group said it maintained stable and efficient operations and a secure financial position over the year, even as these strategic moves weighed heavily on near-term profitability. Investors are cautioned that the figures are based on unaudited management accounts and that final audited results for 2025 may differ, underscoring uncertainty but also suggesting that the company is prioritizing long-term financial health over short-term earnings in a challenging sector environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:3900) stock is a Hold with a HK$11.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Greentown China Holdings stock, see the HK:3900 Stock Forecast page.
