Yunnan Energy International Co. Limited ( (HK:1298) ) has provided an update.

Yunnan Energy International Co. Limited has warned that it expects to swing to a net loss of between HK$0.5 million and HK$1.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, compared with a net profit of HK$0.5 million a year earlier. The shift reflects weaker performance in its supply chain operations, underscoring challenges in its core commodity trading activities.

The company cited lower revenue and gross profit in its supply chain business due to decreased demand for certain agricultural commodities such as panax notoginseng, alongside stricter risk assessment that reduced the scale of trading in some products, including electrolytic copper. Higher selling and distribution expenses and increased income tax charges in the supply chain segment further weighed on earnings, prompting the company to caution shareholders and investors as it finalises its audited annual results expected by end-March 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1298) stock is a Hold with a HK$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Yunnan Energy International Co. Limited stock, see the HK:1298 Stock Forecast page.
