# HKEX earned 36% more last year, with revenue and profit reaching new highs for two consecutive years, benefiting from the boom in Hong Kong stocks and IPOs

> HKEX (388) achieved record high revenue and profit for the second consecutive year last year, with revenue reaching HKD 29.161 billion, an increase of 30% year-on-year; profit was HKD 17.754 billion, an increase of 36.04% year-on-year. Revenue from core business increased by 32%, driven by record trading volumes in the cash, derivatives, and commodities markets. A dividend of HKD 6.52 per share was declared, an increase of 33% year-on-year. Net investment income was HKD 1.87 billion, an increase of 7% year-on-year

Benefiting from the active trading of Hong Kong stocks and the robust IPO market last year, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (388) achieved record high revenue and profit for the second consecutive year, with revenue and other income reaching HKD 29.161 billion, a year-on-year increase of 30%; profit was HKD 17.754 billion, a year-on-year increase of 36.04%; and a second dividend of HKD 6.52 per share, a year-on-year increase of 33%.

Revenue from core business increased by 32%, driven by record high trading volumes in the cash, derivatives, and commodities markets, leading to an increase in trading and settlement fees. Net investment income was HKD 1.87 billion, a year-on-year increase of 7%, mainly due to a non-recurring gain of HKD 167 million from the valuation of the group's unlisted equity investments, which is expected to incur a loss of HKD 62 million in 2024. However, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange indicated that the decrease in net fair value gains from external portfolios (HKD 269 million in 2025; HKD 447 million in 2024) has offset part of the increase
