The latest update is out from Road King Infrastructure ( (HK:1098) ).

Road King Infrastructure reported a sharp deterioration in its 2025 results, with property sales plunging to RMB7,390 million from RMB12,462 million and property deliveries dropping to RMB11,604 million from RMB31,592 million, underscoring sustained weakness in its China-focused real estate operations. While toll revenue from its Indonesian expressway projects remained relatively stable at HK$1,695 million versus HK$1,765 million a year earlier, the group’s loss attributable to shareholders widened significantly to HK$5,982 million from HK$4,122 million, as gross losses deepened and prior-year disposal gains did not recur, signaling continued pressure on profitability and raising concerns for equity investors despite ongoing income to perpetual capital security holders and other non-controlling interests.

The company’s consolidated revenue held broadly flat at HK$5,321.9 million compared with HK$5,536.9 million in 2024, but higher cost of sales pushed the group into a gross loss of HK$2,347.1 million, well above the HK$1,390.1 million gross loss recorded previously. Additional hits from other losses, negative contributions from joint ventures, and substantial finance costs drove loss before tax to HK$5,313.1 million, with basic loss per share widening to HK$7.98, highlighting the strain on shareholders amid a challenging property market and leveraged capital structure.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1098) stock is a Sell with a HK$0.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Road King Infrastructure stock, see the HK:1098 Stock Forecast page.
