QUNABOX GROUP (00917) surged more than 13% following a positive profit alert. As of the time of writing, the stock was up 13.01%, trading at HKD 28.5, with a turnover of HKD 43.4878 million.

The movement comes after the company issued an announcement projecting a return to profitability for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with an expected net profit ranging between RMB 270 million and RMB 330 million. This contrasts sharply with the net loss of RMB 1.6627 billion recorded in 2024.

The turnaround to profitability is primarily attributed to the group's sustained, long-term investment in research and development. This has fostered a deep and solid accumulation of technological expertise, particularly in AI applications and intelligent interaction, which has continuously enhanced its terminal-based AI interactive marketing capabilities.

Concurrently, the mature application of these related technological capabilities has effectively optimized operational efficiency and delivery capacity. These improvements have gradually translated into an expansion of business scale, thereby supporting steady growth in both revenue and profit for the current year.

An additional contributing factor is the absence of any fair value losses in the current fiscal year.
