An update from Wing On Co. International Ltd. ( (HK:0289) ) is now available.
Wing On Company International Ltd. has issued a profit alert indicating it expects to narrow its loss attributable to shareholders to about HK$328.5 million for 2025, down from HK$919.1 million in 2024, driven mainly by a smaller valuation loss on its investment properties and a stronger gain of roughly HK$454.9 million from its investment portfolio. Underlying profit, excluding property valuation losses and related deferred tax, is projected to climb about 42.6% to HK$612.2 million, though rental income from properties in Hong Kong and Melbourne is set to fall around 19.1% amid weak office demand, and its Hong Kong department stores are expected to deepen their loss as lower foot traffic and subdued consumer spending weigh on the retail business.
The announcement underscores a mixed operating picture in which investment performance and reduced fair-value hits support earnings even as core rental and retail operations remain pressured, highlighting the group’s sensitivity to property market cycles and Hong Kong’s challenging retail environment. Investors are cautioned that the figures are based on unaudited management accounts ahead of the formal 2025 annual results, which are scheduled for release in late March 2026, and may influence sentiment toward the stock as the market weighs improved underlying profitability against ongoing structural headwinds in office leasing and discretionary consumption.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0289) stock is a Hold with a HK$14.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Wing On Co. International Ltd. stock, see the HK:0289 Stock Forecast page.
