CNT GROUP (00701) is expected to record a net loss attributable to shareholders of between HK$15 million and HK$17 million for the six months ending June 30, 2026.

This represents a decline of 53% to 59% compared to the loss attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$36.6 million recorded in the same period ending June 30, 2025.

The anticipated reduction in the loss amount for the 2026 six-month period is primarily attributed to two key factors. Firstly, the group reported a lower net fair value loss on its investment properties in Hong Kong and mainland China as of June 30, 2026, compared to the net fair value loss recorded as of June 30, 2025. Secondly, there was a decrease in the estimated loss attributable to shareholders of China Paint Holdings Limited (stock code: 1932), a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the company.
