Swire Properties

Swire Properties reported an adjusted profit rise of 11% to HKD 4.9 billion for H1 2026 and a recurring adjusted profit increase of 36% to HKD 4.7 billion, supported by residential sales, a strong retail business and two luxury disposals in Deep Water Bay. The interim dividend was raised by 6% to HKD 0.37 per share, while net debt edged up slightly and the gearing ratio remained at 14.8%; the weighted average cost of debt fell to 3.3%. Despite the positive results, the stock fell 4.17% to HKD 23, as investors remain cautious due to persistent weakness in the office sector and uncertainty over rent adjustments. » More on de.investing.com

Capital recycling funded a HK$100bn investment plan (67% committed) focused on retail projects in mainland China, where retail rents for the first time exceeded those from Hong Kong office assets. The balance sheet improved (net debt down 10% to HK$39.5bn), but investors are cautious due to weaker recurring earnings and a challenging Hong Kong office market. » More on de.investing.com
