Hongkong Land’s underlying profit fell from the same quarter in 2024, mainly on weaker Hong Kong office income and pre-opening costs for projects in mainland China. During the quarter it sold MCL Land for net proceeds of roughly 887 million Singapore dollars, reaching 50 % of its four-year, 4 billion-Singapore-dollar capital-recycling target. The company completed a 270 million Singapore dollar share buy-back and allocated a further 203 million Singapore dollars to the programme in Sep, 2025.
DFI Retail Group reported a 48 % jump in underlying profit, driven by lower financing costs and stronger contributions from associates after divesting Yonghui and Robinsons Retail.

A special dividend of approximately 810 million Singapore dollars was paid in Oct, 2025.
Jardine Pacific produced higher underlying net profit year-on-year, while Mandarin Oriental achieved slightly higher net profit as RevPAR grew in most regions.
