New Century Healthcare Issues Profit Warning as Demand Weakens

New Century Healthcare Holding Co. Ltd. ( (HK:1518) ) has provided an announcement.

New Century Healthcare warned that it expects to post a loss attributable to owners of between RMB110 million and RMB125 million for 2025, reversing from a profit of about RMB47.4 million a year earlier. The company cited weaker demand for pediatric, obstetric and gynecologic services, as well as impairment losses on goodwill and other long-term assets and a write-down of deferred tax assets, and urged investors to exercise caution ahead of its audited annual results due by end-March 2026.

The profit warning signals mounting operational and demand pressures on the group’s core women and children healthcare businesses, underscoring how shifts in patient volumes and asset revaluations are weighing on earnings. The anticipated swing into the red may affect investor sentiment and highlights growing challenges for private specialty healthcare providers in China’s evolving medical services market, pending further clarity when full-year results are released.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1518) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.64 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on New Century Healthcare Holding Co. Ltd. stock, see the HK:1518 Stock Forecast page.
