Hongkong Chinese flags lower but sizable 2025 JV loss amid China property headwinds

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An update from Hongkong Chinese Limited ( (HK:0655) ) is now available.

Hongkong Chinese Limited has notified investors that its key joint venture subsidiary, OUE Limited, expects to report a full-year 2025 loss attributable to shareholders, driven mainly by substantial losses and an expected impairment at equity-accounted investees exposed to the slowing Chinese Mainland property market and weaker economic conditions. The reversal of previously recognised provisional negative goodwill further weighs on OUE’s 2025 results, though these impacts are largely non-cash and are not expected to materially affect OUE’s operational cash flows or funding position.

As a result of OUE’s performance and related non-cash items, Hongkong Chinese estimates its own share of loss from joint ventures for 2025 will range from about HK$0.8 billion to HK$1.0 billion, an improvement from the roughly HK$1.2 billion loss recorded in 2024. The company plans to release its audited consolidated final results in late March 2026 and has urged shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in its shares amid the anticipated losses and ongoing market headwinds in Chinese Mainland real estate.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0655) stock is a Sell with a HK$0.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hongkong Chinese Limited stock, see the HK:0655 Stock Forecast page.
