Lai Si Enterprise Warns of Sharp Profit Drop for 2025 but Says Finances Remain Solid

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Lai Si Enterprise Holding Ltd. ( (HK:2266) ) has shared an update.

Lai Si Enterprise Holding Limited has warned that its profit attributable to shareholders for 2025 is expected to fall sharply to between MOP 7 million and MOP 9 million, down from about MOP 24.1 million in 2024. The decline stems from weaker market demand reducing revenue and gross margin, a much smaller reversal of expected credit loss provisions, higher valuation losses on investment properties, and increased staff expenses tied to more tender participation and incentives.

Despite the profit squeeze, the board maintains that the Group’s overall financial position remains sound and that operating cash flow is sufficient to support ongoing activities. The company stressed that the figures are based on unaudited management accounts and may change when the audited 2025 results are released on 27 March 2026, and it urged shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when trading its shares in the meantime.
