K. Wah International Flags HK$900 Million Annual Loss on Property Impairments

K Wah International Holdings ( (HK:0173) ) has issued an update.

K. Wah International Holdings has warned that it expects to swing to a loss attributable to equity holders of up to HK$900 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, compared with a profit of HK$335 million a year earlier. The projected loss is mainly driven by non-cash impairment provisions on unsold property inventories amid weaker market conditions, fair value changes in investment properties, and losses from joint ventures facing margin pressure.

Despite the anticipated loss, the company stressed that its operating cash flow will not be affected by the impairment charges and that its net gearing ratio remains stable at below 20%. Management said the group’s overall financial position is healthy with strong liquidity, and it plans to maintain a prudent investment strategy, while cautioning shareholders and potential investors to exercise care when dealing in the company’s shares ahead of the audited 2025 results due in late March 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0173) stock is a Hold with a HK$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on K Wah International Holdings stock, see the HK:0173 Stock Forecast page.
