# [Corporate Earnings Surprise] HERALD HOLD expects mid-term net profit to increase by up to 72.8% year-on-year

According to a report from Economic Information Agency on the 11th, HERALD HOLD (00114) announced that it expects the net profit attributable to shareholders for the six months ending September 30, 2025, to be in the range of HKD 42 million to HKD 47 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 54.4% to 72.8%.

These changes are mainly due to realized and unrealized gains from trading securities amounting to approximately HKD 13 million, as well as a one-time after-tax gain of approximately HKD 15 million from the sale of two plots of land located in Shanghai.

Despite the one-time gains mentioned above and the ideal performance recorded in the first half of this fiscal year, management remains very concerned about the group's performance in the second half of this fiscal year. This cautious attitude is due to the uncertainties and pressures brought about by ongoing geopolitical tensions and intensified price competition within the industry. (kl)
