ASIA FINANCIAL (00662) announced that the group expects its net profit attributable to shareholders for the year ending December 31, 2025, to increase by over 50% compared to the audited profit of approximately HK$647 million recorded in the same period of 2024. The profit growth is primarily attributed to the disposal of Hong Kong Life Insurance equity and the recovery in global equity markets, which boosted realized and unrealized gains in the group's investment securities portfolio.
