Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest announcement is out from Huzhou Gas Co., Ltd. Class H ( (HK:6661) ).

Huzhou Gas Co., Ltd. reported that its 2025 natural gas sales volume fell 5.21% to 571.32 million cubic meters, with revenue down 4.08% year-on-year to RMB2.28 billion and gross profit slipping as weaker demand weighed on top-line performance. Profit attributable to owners declined 19.62% to RMB94.68 million, yet the board proposed maintaining the final dividend at RMB0.30 per share, signaling a commitment to shareholder returns despite profit pressure and indicating a stable, if slower-growing, operating profile for stakeholders.

The group’s audited results show profit before tax decreased to RMB188.92 million and earnings per share dropped to RMB0.47, reflecting tighter margins and softer gas consumption across its customer base. Nonetheless, contributions from joint ventures improved and finance costs edged lower, partially offsetting the downturn, while the unchanged dividend suggests management’s confidence in cash flow resilience and the company’s ongoing role as a core regional gas utility.
