Helens International Swings to Profit Despite Revenue Drop in 2025

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Helens International Holdings Company Limited ( (HK:9869) ) has issued an update.

Helens International Holdings reported a sharp revenue decline to RMB 539.0 million for 2025 from RMB 752.2 million a year earlier, reflecting continued top-line pressure on its bar operations. Despite this, the company swung to a profit attributable to owners of RMB 34.0 million from a loss of RMB 78.0 million in 2024, aided by the absence of large impairments and listing-related expenses.

On a non-HKFRS basis, Helens’ adjusted net profit edged up to RMB 67.7 million from RMB 65.4 million, as management highlighted this metric as a more meaningful gauge of underlying performance. The results suggest operational optimization, including reduced bar-related impairments and adjustments, is helping restore profitability even as the group navigates a smaller revenue base, which may reassure investors about improving cost discipline and earnings quality.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:9869) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.90 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Helens International Holdings Company Limited stock, see the HK:9869 Stock Forecast page.
