Universal Technologies Loss Widens on Water Business Weakness and Legal, Tax Charges

Universal Technologies Holdings Limited ( (HK:1026) ) has issued an update.

Universal Technologies Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong-listed company engaged primarily in water supply and related services in mainland China, reported softer top-line performance amid pressures in its core water business. The group’s revenue for the six months ended 31 December 2025 fell 6.02% year on year to about HK$172.9 million, reflecting lower income from its water supply operations.

The company’s net loss attributable to shareholders widened sharply to approximately HK$49.3 million from HK$28.5 million a year earlier, driven by compensation losses and default interest linked to court judgments involving a government-designated water plant. An increased PRC enterprise income tax expense after a revised assessment in Qingyuan further deepened losses, and basic and diluted loss per share rose to HK0.89 cent, prompting the board to again withhold an interim dividend, underscoring ongoing financial and operational headwinds for investors and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1026) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.12 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Universal Technologies Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:1026 Stock Forecast page.
