Profit Plummets 25.1% as Revenue Contracts 10%
China Lesso Group Holdings reported a sharp decline in profitability for the fiscal year ending in December 2025. Net profit fell 25.1% year-over-year to RMB 1.262 billion, while annual revenue decreased by 10% to RMB 24.315 billion. The results reflect significant challenges within its markets, pulling earnings per share down to RMB 0.41.
Dividend Held at HKD 0.20 Despite Financial Strain
In a move to support shareholder returns, China Lesso's board maintained its final dividend at HKD 0.20 per share, unchanged from the previous year. This decision comes even as the company's earnings weakened considerably. While providing a stable payout, the policy raises questions about its sustainability if the firm's financial performance does not recover, placing the dividend in contrast with the underlying operational weakness.
Shares Tumble 5.8% as Investors React
The market responded negatively to the earnings announcement. Following the release, China Lesso's stock dropped 5.814% as investors digested the poor results. Short-selling activity on March 30, 2026, was notably high at $4.92 million, representing 22.824% of volume and signaling strong bearish sentiment from market participants.
