MTR Corporation Reports Mixed Financial Results for 2025

MTR Corporation ( (MTRJF) ) has released its Q2 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information MTR Corporation presented to its investors.

MTR Corporation Limited, a Hong Kong-based company, is a prominent player in the transportation sector, primarily focusing on railway operations and property development both locally and internationally. The company is recognized for its extensive railway network and its involvement in property development projects in Hong Kong and Mainland China.

In its latest earnings report for the first half of 2025, MTR Corporation announced a mixed financial performance. While the total revenue saw a decline of 6.5% compared to the same period in 2024, the net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 27.5%, reaching HK$7,709 million. This growth in net profit was largely driven by substantial gains in property development profits, which surged by 218.5%.

Key financial metrics revealed a 15.7% decrease in profit from recurrent businesses, while property development profits in Hong Kong significantly boosted the overall profitability. The company’s Hong Kong transport operations experienced steady revenue growth, attributed to increased patronage from cross-boundary and high-speed rail services. Additionally, the company completed the operational handover of the UK Elizabeth Line and South Western Railway in May 2025.

Looking ahead, MTR Corporation remains cautiously optimistic, with plans to continue expanding its railway network and property development initiatives. The company aims to sustain its growth trajectory by capitalizing on ongoing projects and potential tenders, while acknowledging that its success is partly reliant on the broader economic environment. The management is committed to supporting Hong Kong’s sustainable growth through strategic investments and developments.
