Wing Chi warns of HK$19.2 million loss on project setbacks and pricing pressure

Wing Chi Holdings Limited ( (HK:6080) ) has issued an update.

Wing Chi Holdings Limited has warned that it expects to report a consolidated net loss attributable to owners of about HK$19.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2026, reversing from a net profit of roughly HK$4.4 million a year earlier. The company attributes the downturn mainly to heavy losses on several foundation and site formation projects, where stricter client revenue recognition, unforeseen ground conditions, site constraints, and delays tied to work-area handovers and method changes hurt efficiency.

Management also cites a decline in gross profit driven by intensifying competition in the foundation and site formation sector, with downward pressure on contract prices across both public and private markets amid a weak economy. The FY2026 figures are based on preliminary unaudited management accounts and have not yet been reviewed by auditors or the audit committee, and the board has urged shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s shares ahead of the final annual results due by end-June 2026.
