The latest announcement is out from COSCO SHIPPING Ports ( (HK:1199) ).

COSCO SHIPPING Ports reported a 6.2% year-on-year increase in total throughput to 152.99 million TEU in 2025, with equity throughput up 3.4% and stronger growth coming from non-controlling terminals. Revenue rose 11.0% to US$1.67 billion, but gross profit was flat as cost of sales climbed 15.4%, while profit attributable to equity holders edged up 1.1% to US$312.1 million and the payout ratio was maintained at 40% despite a lower second interim dividend per share.

Terminals where the group holds controlling stakes saw a modest 1.8% throughput increase to 33.25 million TEU, while non-controlling terminals expanded 7.5% to 119.75 million TEU, underscoring the growing contribution of partner-operated assets. The balance sheet showed moderate expansion in non-current assets and cash, reflecting continued investment in port infrastructure and associates as the company pursues scale, though rising operating costs slightly compressed margins for shareholders.
