XIN POINT HOLD (01571.HK) shares plummeted 5.04% in Friday's trading session following the release of its disappointing interim results for the first half of 2025. The company reported a significant decline in both revenue and profit, raising concerns among investors about its near-term growth prospects.

According to the financial report released on Thursday evening, XIN POINT HOLD's revenue for H1 2025 decreased by 5.4% year-on-year to approximately RMB 1.557 billion. More alarmingly, the profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company fell by 24.97% to around RMB 241.7 million. The company's basic earnings per share also dropped to 24.1 cents, compared to 32.1 cents in the same period last year.

The company attributed its underwhelming performance to several factors, including a volatile global trade environment, particularly affected by US trade tariffs. XIN POINT HOLD also faced challenges in certain markets, especially in Europe, and cited ongoing uncertainties related to rapidly evolving U.S. policies. Additionally, a decline in Tesla's global sales contributed to the revenue drop. Despite maintaining an interim dividend of HK$0.2 per share, the combination of reduced revenue, under-utilization of production capacity, and higher factory overheads led to a significant decline in gross profit, which fell from RMB 615 million in H1 2024 to RMB 486 million in H1 2025. These factors collectively paint a challenging picture for XIN POINT HOLD's short-term outlook, leading to the sharp stock price decline in Friday's trading.
