Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited ( (HK:0953) ) has provided an update.

Shaw Brothers Holdings reported a sharp rebound in revenue for 2025, driven by strong performance in its content production and artiste management businesses, even as it remained loss-making. The 25-episode crime drama “Prism Breakers” achieved top ratings on Hong Kong free-to-air TV and amassed over 477 million views on Youku in mainland China, earning multiple Maoyan accolades and being hailed as a “revival of Hong Kong dramas,” underscoring the commercial appeal of its locally produced content.

The group also completed filming of a 22-episode family drama, “Behind the Queens,” slated for release on Tencent Video in 2026, further deepening its pipeline with mainland streaming platforms. Overall revenue nearly tripled to RMB153.7 million, with film, drama and non-drama revenue surging over 300% and artiste and event management up 13.6%, but higher impairment provisions on investments, productions in progress and receivables pushed the annual loss attributable to shareholders to RMB14.2 million and led the board to withhold a final dividend, signalling a focus on balance-sheet prudence amid expansion.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0953) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.36 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shaw Brothers Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:0953 Stock Forecast page.
