New Century Group Hong Kong Limited (234) announced that it expects to record a loss attributable to owners of the company of not more than HK$20 million for the six months ended 30 September 2025, compared to a loss of approximately HK$4 million for the same period in 2024.
According to the announcement, the larger expected loss is primarily due to a decrease in profit from the money lending business, reflecting a tightened lending strategy. In addition, there has been an increase in fair value losses on certain investment properties in Hong Kong—mainly commercial retail units—as well as lower fair value gains and dividend income from listed equity investments.
The company is finalizing its unaudited interim results and plans to publish them on 26 November 2025. The board advises shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s shares.
