Litu Holdings Limited (01008) released a profit alert indicating a substantial contraction in full-year earnings. Based on unaudited management accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025, profit attributable to owners is projected between HK$1.00 million and HK$5.00 million, dramatically lower than the HK$80.60 million recorded in FY2024.

Management attributes the expected decline to two principal factors:

1. Revenue Pressure: Cigarette package sales volume fell roughly 35%, leading to a material drop in turnover. 2. Disposal Loss: The Group booked an estimated HK$33.00 million loss on the 15 August 2025 disposal of a 31% stake in associate Changde Gold Roc Printing Co., Ltd.

The figures are preliminary and pending audit review. Final audited results are scheduled for release by end-March 2026. Shareholders and investors are advised to exercise caution when trading the Company’s shares.
