Shares of Goodbaby International (HKG:1086) are soaring 5.74% in intraday trading on Tuesday, building on the nearly 2% gain seen in late-morning trade. This surge comes despite the company reporting a decrease in profit for the first half of 2025.
According to a Hong Kong bourse filing on Monday, Goodbaby International, a leading manufacturer of children's products, reported a profit attributable to owners of HK$105.4 million for the first half of 2025, down from HK$185.4 million in the same period last year. Earnings per share decreased to HK$0.06 from HK$0.11 in the prior-year period.
However, investors appear to be focusing on the company's revenue growth, which rose to HK$4.30 billion from HK$4.19 billion in the previous year. This increase in revenue, despite challenging market conditions, may be fueling investor optimism about the company's market position and future prospects. The significant stock price increase suggests that market participants are looking beyond the short-term profit decline and are confident in Goodbaby International's long-term growth potential in the competitive children's products market.
