New Universe Environmental Group Limited ( (HK:0436) ) has issued an announcement.

New Universe Environmental Group reported essentially flat revenue of HK$348.8 million for 2025, but improved profitability as gross profit rose and adjusted EBITDA increased to HK$87.7 million, narrowing the loss attributable to shareholders to HK$9.6 million. Despite a small pre-tax loss and higher income tax charges pushing the full-year loss to HK$13.3 million, the group maintained its final dividend at HK$0.16 per share, strengthened its cash position to HK$271.1 million, and modestly increased equity, signaling stabilizing operations and a cautiously more resilient financial profile for shareholders.

The company also reduced distribution costs and benefited from reversals of impairment losses on trade receivables, though contributions from associates and a joint venture remained negative and continued to weigh on the bottom line. Bank borrowings rose slightly to HK$49.4 million, but the improvement in operating profit, stronger balance sheet liquidity, and steady dividend indicate management’s focus on operational efficiency and capital discipline amid a challenging operating environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0436) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.07 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on New Universe Environmental Group Limited stock, see the HK:0436 Stock Forecast page.
