Maoyan Flags Profit Surge on China Box Office and Live Entertainment Boom

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Maoyan Entertainment ( (HK:1896) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Maoyan Entertainment has issued a positive profit alert, forecasting 2025 revenue of RMB4.6 billion to RMB4.7 billion, up about 13% to 15% year on year, and profit attributable to shareholders of RMB540 million to RMB590 million, implying earnings growth of roughly 197% to 224% from 2024. The company attributes the sharp profit expansion to a robust rebound in China’s film box office, strong gains in the live entertainment market, record performance in its promotion, distribution and overseas live businesses, and tighter cost and receivables management that collectively strengthened margins and risk control.

China’s film market box office climbed nearly 22% in 2025, with Maoyan achieving record highs in the number of films it promoted, distributed or produced and in box office share, supported by hits such as Detective Chinatown 1900, Nobody and The Lychee Road. In live entertainment, Maoyan’s gross merchandise volume grew well ahead of the broader industry, especially overseas, while lean management, focused investment in high-quality content and improved collection of overdue receivables further boosted net profit and underpinned its competitive position in the recovering entertainment sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1896) stock is a Sell with a HK$6.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Maoyan Entertainment stock, see the HK:1896 Stock Forecast page.
