Chow Tai Fook beats estimates with HK$94.4B revenue, HK$0.45 dividend
Chow Tai Fook reported full-year revenue of HK$94.4 billion, beating the HK$93.71 billion consensus estimate.
The Hong Kong-listed jeweler posted net profit of HK$9.0 billion for the fiscal year ended March 2026, exceeding the HK$8.71 billion analyst forecast. The company declared a final dividend of HK$0.45 per share.
The earnings beat comes as the Cheng family behind Chow Tai Fook undertakes a broader equity restructuring. CTF Capital, owned by Henry Cheng's family, transferred about 53.93% of its Chow Tai Fook holdings — representing 5.32 billion shares — to Beyond Luck Limited, a subsidiary of Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, through an off-market non-cash transaction last week. The internal restructuring aims to strengthen the capital structure of the Chow Tai Fook group and unlock business value, with Chow Tai Fook Enterprises set to become the parent company of the family's core businesses including Chow Tai Fook, CTF Services, and New World Development.
Chow Tai Fook Enterprises holds about 45.24% of New World Development, according to the company's 2025 annual report. Beyond Luck is currently held around 65% by Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and 35% by CTF Capital.
The earnings beat and dividend declaration signal that Chow Tai Fook's core jewelry business continues to generate steady cash flow despite a challenging retail environment in Hong Kong and mainland China. Investors will watch for same-store sales trends and margin data in the company's detailed annual report for signs of demand recovery in the Greater China jewelry market.
