Huayu Expressway Issues Profit Warning on Slump in China Consumer Demand

An update from Huayu Expressway Group Limited ( (HK:1823) ) is now available.

Huayu Expressway Group Limited has warned investors that it expects a sharp deterioration in its 2025 financial performance, flagging a year-on-year revenue decline to about RMB138.6 million–RMB153.2 million from RMB198.1 million in 2024. The group also anticipates widening its loss attributable to shareholders to roughly RMB33.2 million–RMB36.8 million, compared with a loss of RMB7.1 million a year earlier.

Management attributed the weaker results primarily to a substantial drop in wine and liquor sales, driven by the continued contraction of the consumer market in mainland China. The figures are based on unaudited management accounts and may be adjusted when the full-year results are finalized and released, with the company cautioning shareholders and potential investors to exercise care when dealing in its shares ahead of the expected March 2026 results announcement.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1823) stock is a Hold with a HK$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Huayu Expressway Group Limited stock, see the HK:1823 Stock Forecast page.
