The latest announcement is out from Wharf Real Estate Investment Co ( (HK:1997) ).
Wharf Real Estate Investment Company reported a 5% rise in underlying net profit for 2025 to HK$6.46 billion, or HK$2.13 per share, and raised its full-year dividend to HK$1.32 per share, even as investment property revaluation losses pushed the group to a statutory loss. Net debt fell by HK$2.2 billion to HK$32 billion, cutting gearing to 17.2%, while lower interest costs and strong occupancy of 92% across its investment properties supported earnings despite mild declines in revenue and a 3% drop in net asset value.
The group’s Hong Kong-focused retail, office and hotel portfolio showed gradual operational recovery in a volatile global environment marked by geopolitical tensions, shifting consumer behavior and technological disruption. Harbour City and Times Square reported small revenue and profit gains as experiential retail and promotions lifted volumes, offices maintained over 90% occupancy and more than 80% tenant retention despite oversupply, and hotels benefited from mega events that boosted visitor numbers, although rental yields and room rates remained under pressure and asset values continued to soften.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1997) stock is a Sell with a HK$28.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Wharf Real Estate Investment Co stock, see the HK:1997 Stock Forecast page.
