Newton Resources Ltd. ( (HK:1231) ) has provided an announcement.

Newton Resources has warned that it expects a sharp deterioration in its 2025 results, driven largely by operational disruptions at the Koolan iron ore supply. Mining activities at Koolan remain suspended following an earlier incident, and the company is assessing remediation options with relevant parties.

The group anticipates recognizing an impairment loss of about US$4.1 million on a key contract, contributing to a projected net loss of roughly US$7.2 million for 2025, compared with a US$0.3 million loss a year earlier. The decline also reflects reduced sales and gross profit due to lower quantity and quality of iron ore, increased variability of supply, and weaker demand that has compressed unit gross margins, with final audited figures due by the end of March 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1231) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.30 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Newton Resources Ltd. stock, see the HK:1231 Stock Forecast page.
