The latest announcement is out from Persistence Resources Group Ltd ( (HK:2489) ).

Persistence Gold Group Ltd reported a 25.9% rise in revenue to RMB628.8 million for 2025, driven by higher sales in its gold-related operations, while overall net profit edged down 1.6% to RMB144.3 million. Earnings attributable to shareholders rose 5.6% to RMB110.6 million, lifting basic and diluted earnings per share to RMB5.30 cents, but the board opted against declaring a final dividend, signaling a preference to retain capital amid higher administrative, other and finance costs.

The results show a solid top-line expansion and improved profit contribution to equity holders despite increased expenses and a heavier tax burden that compressed overall net income. The decision not to pay a final dividend may indicate a focus on reinvestment or balance sheet strength, with implications for shareholder returns as the group seeks to consolidate its position in the gold resources industry.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:2489) stock is a Buy with a HK$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Persistence Resources Group Ltd stock, see the HK:2489 Stock Forecast page.
