description: "ETHK Labs Inc., a Hong Kong-listed in vitro diagnostics company, has warned of a significant profit drop for 2025, projecting earnings to fall to approximately RMB42.2 million from RMB260.4 million the previous year. The decline is attributed to increased competition, higher administrative costs related to U.S. listing preparations, and rising finance costs. The company is also pursuing a dual listing in the U.S. to enhance financing options. The latest analyst rating for its stock (HK:1931) is a Hold with a price target of HK$1.50."

IVD Medical Holding Limited ( (HK:1931) ) has shared an update.

ETHK Labs Inc., a Hong Kong-listed in vitro diagnostics company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, develops and sells IVD products in an increasingly competitive market. The Group is also working toward a proposed dual listing in the United States to broaden its financing channels and back ongoing expansion.

The company has warned that profit attributable to shareholders for 2025 is expected to fall sharply to no more than about RMB42.2 million from RMB260.4 million a year earlier. Management attributes the decline to margin pressure from tougher IVD competition, higher administrative expenses tied to U.S. listing preparations, and increased finance costs from greater borrowings, and has cautioned investors as the figures remain unaudited and subject to adjustment.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1931) stock is a Hold with a HK$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on IVD Medical Holding Limited stock, see the HK:1931 Stock Forecast page.
