Lap Kei Engineering Lifts Profit and Dividend Despite Revenue Drop in 2025

Lap Kei Engineering (Holdings) Limited ( (HK:1690) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Lap Kei Engineering (Holdings) Limited reported revenue of HK$280.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, a 32.4% decline from 2024, but significantly improved profitability with gross profit rising 58.1% to HK$36.4 million and profit attributable to shareholders surging 657.0% to HK$15.7 million. The board proposed a final dividend of HK$0.02 per share, double the previous year’s payout, signaling management’s confidence in the group’s earnings quality and providing an enhanced return to shareholders despite lower top-line performance.

The results highlight a shift toward better-margin projects or improved cost control, enabling stronger earnings even as revenue fell, which may strengthen the company’s position in the competitive engineering services market. The higher dividend outlay of about HK$28.9 million underscores a more shareholder-friendly capital return policy and could bolster investor sentiment toward the stock, particularly given the sharp rebound in profitability.
