EB ENVIRONMENT's stock price surged 5.02% during intraday trading on Friday, driven by the release of its full-year 2025 financial results.
The company reported a 16% year-on-year increase in profit attributable to equity holders to HK$3.93 billion, despite a 9% decline in revenue. The significant profit growth was attributed to a sharp 20.4% reduction in finance costs and lower asset impairments. Key operational improvements included an expansion of the EBITDA margin to 37.3% from 33.3% and a reduction in the gearing ratio to 62%.
Investors responded positively to the enhanced shareholder returns, with the board proposing a final dividend of HK$0.12 per share. This contributes to a full-year dividend of HK27.0 cents, representing a 17.4% increase from the prior year.
