Leoch International Technology Limited has warned that its 2025 results will swing to a loss of up to about RMB300 million, reversing a profit a year earlier.

The company also cited a roughly 61.7% year-on-year drop in profit attributable to owners in the first half of 2025 as contributing to the full-year downturn. Management is still finalizing the audited figures and has cautioned shareholders and potential investors to exercise care when trading the stock ahead of the formal annual results release expected by the end of March 2026.
