CK Infrastructure (HKG:1038) forecasts the company will experience a slight direct impact from the tariffs, The Standard reported Wednesday, citing Chairman Victor Li Tzar-kuoi.

"Most of the group's businesses are regulated, which makes them relatively stable," The Standard quoted Li as saying during the 2025 annual general meeting.

Li also said he is "cautiously optimistic" about the infrastructure firms' business prospects, according to the newspaper.

Shareholder returns could remain subject to several external factors, despite total returns from early 2024 to May 2025 reaching about 28% due to a resilient business model, the report said, citing Li.
