The latest update is out from Universal Technologies Holdings Limited ( (HK:1026) ).

Universal Technologies Holdings Limited has issued a supplemental announcement to its 2024/2025 annual report, reiterating the board and audit committee’s position on the auditor’s disclaimer of opinion and outlining their intention to implement remedial measures to have the disclaimer removed in the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2026. The company also discloses that it incurred a gross loss of about HK$26.8 million and a net loss of about HK$259.4 million for the 18 months ended 30 June 2025, with net current liabilities of approximately HK$362.8 million and material overdue trade payables and litigation-related compensation that cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern; however, management and the board believe the Group can maintain operations over at least the next 12 months through unutilised banking facilities, negotiations with suppliers, restructuring of subsidiaries to resolve disputes, and cost-cutting measures, and therefore consider the going-concern basis of preparation appropriate.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1026) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.13 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Universal Technologies Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:1026 Stock Forecast page.
