CK Asset Holdings

CK Asset’s stock fell 6.4% to HK$45 after adjusted half-year profit of HK$6.64bn came in about 3% below analysts’ expectations and margins in its Hong Kong property business weakened. Contrary to market expectations, management did not pay a one-off special dividend, despite proceeds of HK$8.96bn from the sale of a 20% stake in UK Power Networks and HK$826m from the earlier Eversholt Rail disposal. Instead, only a regular interim dividend of HK$0.41 per share was proposed, intensifying the share-price correction. BofA maintained a buy rating with a HK$54 target, but investors are now reassessing how the released capital will be deployed. » More on de.investing.com

CK Asset reports an operating profit of HKD 6.6bn for H1 2026 (+5%) and a profit attributable to shareholders of HKD 8.7bn (+37.8%), driven by disposal gains from UK Power Networks and the Eversholt Rail Group. The interim dividend rises 5.1% to HKD 0.41 per share, and net cash stands at HKD 21.9bn. Recurring income remains stable, but the development project business is under margin pressure, and management is cautious due to risks in China and the UK. The stock rose 3.62% to HKD 48.1 after the results. » More on de.investing.com
