Kingboard Laminates Holdings Limited (KBL) (1888) has announced that net profit for the year ended 31 December 2025 is expected to increase by more than 80% compared to the same period in 2024. This surpasses 2.39 billion HKD, based on preliminary review of unaudited management accounts and current information.

The significant increase is attributed to higher market demand for laminate products and upstream materials, including fiberglass yarn, fiberglass fabric, and copper foil. Both product unit prices and sales volumes have risen notably, with the market demand remaining robust. An improved performance in the investment segment and KBL’s vertically integrated business model have also contributed to the strong net profit projection.

The figures remain subject to finalization and adjustments, and have not yet been audited. KBL is expected to release its annual results for 2025 before the end of March 2026. The announcement advises caution when trading KBL securities and recommends a thorough review of the upcoming annual results for more details.
