Orient Overseas (International) ( (HK:0316) ) has issued an announcement.

Orient Overseas (International) Limited reported a sharp decline in unaudited liner revenue for its OOCL business in the fourth quarter of 2025, with revenue down 17.2% year-on-year to US$2.08 billion despite a 0.8% rise in total liftings and a 4.5% increase in loadable capacity, resulting in a 3.1 percentage point drop in load factor and a 17.8% fall in average revenue per TEU. For the full year 2025, liner revenue fell 10.6% while total liftings grew 3.7% and capacity expanded 6.1%, pointing to weaker freight rates across major trade lanes—particularly Trans-Pacific and Asia/Europe—even as volumes rose, underscoring margin pressure and a more challenging rate environment for the container shipping operator; the company also cautioned investors that the figures are based on internal, unaudited management accounts.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0316) stock is a Buy with a HK$146.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Orient Overseas (International) stock, see the HK:0316 Stock Forecast page.
