Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited ( (HK:0953) ) has provided an announcement.

Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited has issued a supplemental announcement clarifying procedural shortcomings in a previously issued profit warning for its 2025 annual results. The company explains that the profit warning, which relates to an expected loss attributable to shareholders and impairment charges, constitutes a profit forecast under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code and therefore should have been accompanied by reports from its financial advisers and auditors.

The company states that time constraints and the need for timely disclosure of inside information meant it could not obtain those reports before publishing the original warning, but expects upcoming 2025 annual results to supersede the reporting requirement. It also acknowledges the omission of certain required disclosures, including a responsibility statement, and cautions shareholders and potential investors not to place undue reliance on the profit warning when assessing its planned acquisition and related transactions, urging them to exercise caution when dealing in its securities.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0953) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.36 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:0953 Stock Forecast page.
