An announcement from Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) ( (HK:0551) ) is now available.

Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) has warned that profit attributable to shareholders for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to fall by about 50% to 55% from the US$75.8 million recorded a year earlier. The decline stems from weaker manufacturing revenue, higher unit costs and operating deleverage amid softer brand orders, shifting product mix and tariff-sharing pressures.

The group cited rising labor expenses from headcount growth and wage increases, as well as production bottlenecks and lower efficiency caused by overlapping holidays in China, Vietnam and Indonesia, which disrupted scheduling and raised unit costs. Management said it will prioritize responsiveness by closely managing demand, order pipelines and labor supply, while monitoring global economic and geopolitical risks, shipping disruptions and raw material stability to protect operational efficiency.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0551) stock is a Sell with a HK$7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) stock, see the HK:0551 Stock Forecast page.
