Cathay Pacific Airways ( (HK:0293) ) just unveiled an update.

Cathay Pacific Airways has released its November 2025 traffic figures and simultaneously disclosed that management expects the Group’s second-half 2025 results to exceed those of the first half, and full-year 2025 results to surpass full-year 2024, indicating continued operational and financial recovery. Because these expectations constitute a profit forecast under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code and have not yet been reviewed by the company’s financial adviser or external auditors, the airline cautioned shareholders and potential investors against placing undue reliance on the projections, particularly when assessing the ongoing share buy-back, and said the forecast and the requisite adviser and auditor reports will be included in the forthcoming EGM circular.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0293) stock is a Hold with a HK$13.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cathay Pacific Airways stock, see the HK:0293 Stock Forecast page.
