Kingboard Laminates Posts Strong 2025 Profit Rebound and Raises Dividend

Kingboard Laminates Holdings ( (HK:1888) ) has issued an update.

Kingboard Laminates Holdings reported a solid earnings rebound for 2025, with revenue rising 10% to HK$20.4 billion and underlying net profit surging 85% to HK$2.49 billion, driven by improved margins and strong gains on equity investments. Basic earnings per share based on underlying profit climbed to HK79.9 cents, while the board proposed lifting the full-year dividend 10% to HK68 cents per share, including higher interim and final dividends and a slightly reduced special dividend, signaling confidence in cash generation despite a modest rise in net gearing to 16%.

The improved payout and higher net asset value per share of HK$5.21 may bolster shareholder returns and underscore Kingboard Laminates’ strengthened financial position in the competitive electronics materials sector.
