On the news front, CHOW SANG SANG plans to hold a board meeting on August 27 (this Wednesday) to approve its interim results. The company previously announced that it expects profit attributable to owners from continuing operations for the first half of the year to reach between HK$900 million and HK$920 million, compared to HK$502 million in the same period last year.
During the period, continuous rises in gold prices enabled higher gross margins on gold product sales. The integration of the retail network and other cost control measures that reduced costs also contributed to profit growth.
