霸王茶姬全球潛能遠超15倍PE估值

香港,2025年6月30日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 當現製茶飲陷入同質化競爭的泥潭,霸王茶姬卻悄然開啟了一場關於茶飲價值的升維革命。官方數據顯示,霸王茶姬主打現萃的全新品類「CHAGEE NOW茶姬現萃」在上海的門店已增至11家。區別於傳統的現製奶茶,「茶姬現萃」主打茶中式與茶拿鐵,這或標誌著霸王茶姬價值錨定的切換。錨定咖啡替代品賽道,打破茶飲天花板數據顯示,2024年中國新茶飲市場規模增速降至6%,預計2028年將進一步放緩至1.5%。當喜茶、奈雪們困守高端市場,古茗、茶百道在10-20元人民幣價格帶貼身肉搏時,霸王茶姬卻劃出了一條全新賽道--它要搶佔的不是奶茶消費者的零花錢,而是咖啡攝入的日常場景。這是霸王茶姬創始人張俊傑所提出的「像素級對標星巴克」的底層邏輯,也是霸王茶姬在資本市場所展現的獨特價值--即獨有的東方茶產品加上星巴克的規模空間,成為世界範圍內,除咖啡之外的另一個「daily drink」。從數據層面來看,霸王茶姬有這樣做的底氣--不僅產品受歡迎,供應鏈也能很好地支撐服務運轉。據其2025年一季度財報數據,儘管面臨門店加密壓力,霸王茶姬大中華區單店月均商品交易總額(GMV)仍達43.2萬元人民幣,遠超其他茶飲品牌平均水平。而供應鏈效率優勢也同樣明顯,憑藉大單品和標準化策略,庫存周轉天數僅5.3天,而多家茶飲品牌周轉天數在50天以上。碾壓同行的單店效率及供應鏈效率,讓霸王茶姬的規模擴充持續加速。數據顯示,截至2025年3月31日,霸王茶姬全球門店數已達到6,681家。當然,短期內霸王茶姬將經歷單店GMV波動的陣痛,但長期來看上揚的大趨勢不變,尤其在成熟市場其仍保持20%的同店增長。此外,參考星巴克的發展歷程,其2013-2015年門店加密期GMV亦出現波動,但隨後重回雙位數的穩定增長。全球化提速,東方星巴克的可行性正在顯現市場分析認為,一旦霸王茶姬完成「高頻剛需的日常咖啡替代消費」的心智切換,全球市場的增量空間將進一步打開。事實上,霸王茶姬自2019年就開始了全球化征程,並取得了良好成效。數據顯示,霸王茶姬的模式及產品,在東南亞市場被成功驗證。位於新加坡的門店單店月均GMV達180萬元人民幣,遠高於國內門店;位於印尼雅加達首店3日銷量突破1.1萬杯;而在馬來西亞預計在未來3年內開設300家新店。與此同時,北美市場的開拓被寄予厚望。2025年4月,霸王茶姬洛杉磯首店開業,以「茶拿鐵」概念直接對標當地咖啡消費習慣,當日銷量即突破5,000杯。截至2025年3月31日,霸王茶姬海外門店數量169家,一季度海外市場總GMV達到1.78億元人民幣,同比激增85.3%。海外市場的增長是資本市場觀察霸王茶姬的重要窗口,因此霸王茶姬的估值邏輯也正在轉向。作為參考,當星巴克海外市場貢獻超30%營收時,其PE從20倍升值35倍。而當前霸王茶姬15倍PE相較於其全球化潛能,仍有較大的預期差距。資本市場對霸王茶姬估值邏輯的認知轉變仍需要一定的時間,「不能只把霸王茶姬當做一杯奶茶看待」。事實上,市場預測從休閒飲品到日常咖啡替代飲品,中間存在著十倍以上的用戶增長空間。隨著霸王茶姬海外擴張步伐的穩步推進,其「錨定咖啡替代品賽道」+「星巴克全球規模」的估值邏輯將逐漸被市場真正認知。在傳統現製茶飲估值集體回調的當下,霸王茶姬掀起的茶飲價值的升維革命,才剛剛開始。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Chagee’s Global Potential Far Outpaces Its 15x PE Valuation

HONG KONG, Jun 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As the freshly made tea industry faces increasing competition, Chagee is strategically launching a value-driven upgrade in tea culture. Official data shows its new flagship line, “CHAGEE NOW”, focused on freshly brewed teas, has expanded to 11 stores in Shanghai. Unlike traditional milk teas, CHAGEE NOW features Chinese-style teas and tea lattes, signaling what analysts believe could be a shift in how Chagee anchors its brand value.Not Just Tea — Chagee Enters Coffee’s LaneData shows that the growth of China’s new-style tea market slowed to 6% in 2024 and is projected to decline further to just 1.5% by 2028. While brands like Heytea and Nayuki remain focused on the premium segment, and Gu Ming (Good Me) and Cha Bai Dao (ChaPanda) compete fiercely within the 10–20 RMB price range, Chagee is carving out a new track, aiming not for milk tea consumers’ spare change, but for the daily routines where coffee dominates.This reflects the core strategy outlined by Chagee founder Zhang Junjie: “a meticulous benchmarking of Starbucks”. It also underscores the brand’s unique value proposition in the capital market—blending distinctive Eastern tea offerings with Starbucks-level scalability to position itself as the world’s next everyday beverage, alongside coffee.From a data perspective, Chagee has a solid foundation for its strategy. Not only is its product widely welcomed, but the supply chain also provides strong support for operational efficiency. According to its Q1 2025 financial report, even under the pressure of increased store density, Chagee’s average monthly GMV per store in Greater China reached RMB 432,000, significantly exceeding the industry average for tea brands. The brand’s supply chain efficiency further reinforces its position. With a focused product strategy and high level of standardization, its inventory turnover cycle is just 5.3 days, whereas many other tea brands take over 50 days.Chagee’s strong store-level performance and efficient supply chain continue to power its rapid expansion, consistently outperforming industry peers. As of March 31, 2025, Chagee had grown to 6,681 stores worldwide. While short-term fluctuations in per-store GMV are expected as store density increases, the long-term growth trend remains firmly upward, particularly in mature markets, where same-store sales are still rising at a 20% pace. This pattern echoes Starbucks’ own trajectory: during its 2013–2015 densification phase, GMV also wavered, but the brand soon returned to stable double-digit growth.The “Eastern Starbucks” Takes Shape: Chagee’s Global Ambitions Gain MomentumMarket analysts suggest that once Chagee successfully repositions itself as a high-frequency, essential alternative to daily coffee consumption, its global growth potential could expand significantly. Notably, Chagee began its globalization journey as early as 2019 and has already achieved impressive results.Data shows that Chagee’s business model and product offering have been successfully validated in Southeast Asia. In Singapore, the brand’s average monthly GMV per store has reached RMB 1.8 million, well above its domestic performance. Its first store in Jakarta, Indonesia, sold over 11,000 cups in just the first three days. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, Chagee plans to open 300 new stores over the next three years.Meanwhile, Chagee’s North American debut is drawing strong anticipation. Its first Los Angeles store opened in April 2025, introducing “tea lattes” tailored to local coffee culture—and sold over 5,000 cups on opening day.As of March 31, 2025, Chagee had 169 overseas stores, generating a total GMV of RMB 178 million in international markets for the first quarter, an impressive year-over-year surge of 85.3%. Overseas growth is becoming a key indicator for capital markets evaluating Chagee, prompting a shift in how the company is being valued. For reference, when Starbucks saw over 30% of its revenue generated from international markets, its price-to-earnings (PE) ratio increased from 20x to 35x. In comparison, Chagee’s current PE ratio of 15x highlights a considerable valuation gap given its global growth potential.The capital market’s perception of Chagee’s valuation is still evolving—“It can no longer be seen as just a milk tea brand”. Market projections indicate that transitioning from a leisure beverage to a daily coffee alternative could unlock more than tenfold growth in user potential.As Chagee steadily advances its global expansion, its dual-track valuation story—rooted in its positioning as a coffee alternative and its ambition to achieve Starbucks-level scale—is gaining growing recognition across the market. Amid a broader pullback in traditional freshly made tea valuations, Chagee is just beginning to lead a new wave of value redefinition in the tea industry.

IBI Announces 23-Fold Surge in Net Profit for FY2025

HONG KONG, Jun 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited (“IBI” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; Stock Code: 1547), a company focused on investments in the built environment, today announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2025 (“FY2025” or the “year under review”).FY2025 was marked by a challenging global economic environment, which placed significant pressure on the construction industry and resulted in highly competitive tendering conditions. At the same time, global trade tensions triggered unexpected volatility, prompting capital flows to shift towards Asia. This trend has begun to invigorate the Hong Kong market and may help to alleviate some of the pressure on Mainland China's manufacturing sector. Coupled with a strong rebound in inbound tourism and improving market sentiment, these developments have contributed to a more optimistic local outlook. The Group remains confident in Hong Kong’s economic prospects and, with its rigorous risk management, effective cost control, and strategic focus on emerging opportunities, is well positioned to navigate the evolving landscape and drive sustainable growth.During the year under review, the Group demonstrated remarkable resilience and delivered a solid financial performance. Profit attributable to the owners of the Company surged around 23.0 times to approximately HK$8.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$0.4 million). This increase was mainly attributable to improvement in the Building Solutions segment, the recognition of the unrealised profit generated from financial assets at fair value, and the recognition of a significant fair value loss on investment property in the previous year. Basic and diluted earnings per share was HK1.0 cent (FY2024: HK0.0 cents). The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK0.5 cents for FY2025 (FY2024: HK0.5 cents).Mr. Neil Howard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IBI, said, “Despite the challenging global economic environment, the Group delivered a strong performance in FY2025, with profitability rising significantly. Furthermore, towards the end of the period, the Group successfully secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. This notable result highlights the effectiveness of our strategic focus, the depth of our resilience, and our ability to adapt quickly to change. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our business development, respond swiftly to market dynamics, and pursue continuous improvement to drive long-term value creation and deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders.”Business Review1.ContractingIBI provides world-class interior fitting-out and building refurbishment services in Hong Kong and Macau, predominantly acting as the main contractor for clients across many industry sectors. The construction industry remained under pressure for most of the year. Although the Group completed a higher number of projects compared to the previous period, many were smaller in scale, resulting in a decline in turnover. However, through strict cost control and proactive final accounting by the commercial team, the segment delivered a solid set of results despite the challenging environment. During the year under review, the Group recorded profit from contracting of approximately HK$7.4 million (FY2024: approximately HK$15.2 million), completed 12 projects, and was awarded 13 projects.Notably, during the latter part of the period, the Group secured four large projects with a total value exceeding the entire turnover for FY2025. In May 2025, IBI entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding a potential investment in the development of a new central business district covering around 318 hectares in Manila, the Philippines. Leveraging its expertise in construction and project management, the Group will serve as project advisor, overseeing the project and providing professional advice on construction, procurement, and progress. This collaboration supports the Group’s long-term strategy and, if realised, could diversify its income streams and support long-term growth. These projects will lay a strong foundation for FY2026.In Macau, IBI secured its first project since resuming operations. The Group is actively rebuilding relationships with previous clients and aggressively tendering for new projects.2.Building SolutionsThe Group’s subsidiary, Building Solutions Limited (“BSL”), which provides products and services that enhance the performance and well-being of the built environment in order to provide modern, healthy and high-performing spaces for occupants, recorded a significant and continued improvement in its performance. During the year under review, BSL recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.6 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$0.3 million), with sales revenue increasing by 58.2% year on year. BSL achieved profitability during FY2025, marking a significant milestone for the start-up. With continued research and identification of new products, the Group believes that the division’s reputation for delivering high-quality building products and services will achieve further growth.3.Strategic InvestmentsThe Group’s strategic investment division was established to efficiently allocate capital into new market sectors and expand its presence in the built environment. During the year under review, the strategic investments division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$0.9 million (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$3.2 million), which was realised from an unrealised fair value gain on its investment in a large real estate investment trust, a Hong Kong-listed company that owns and manages a diversified and high-quality portfolio. Regarding the assets in Japan, specifically the plots of land in Kutchan, Hokkaido, the Group is continuing to analyse the optimum strategy for the site, and is considering expanding the project, as the analysis indicates that a larger-scale development could provide significant economies of scale and a far greater return on investment. Moving forward, the Group will continue to explore potential investment opportunities and looks forward to announcing further successes in this area.4.Property InvestmentsThe Group’s property investment subsidiary focuses on purchasing physical real estate to generate additional income and expand the Group’s geographical presence. The property investment division of the Group recorded a segment profit of approximately HK$2.5 million for FY2025 (FY2024: segment loss approximately HK$8.1 million), maintaining a steady performance and a 100% occupancy rate. During the year under review, the Group engaged a planning architect to survey the West Wing rooftop area and prepare an initial design for additional commercial space. The Group then held a pre-planning meeting with the local government planning office, which gave positive feedback and indicated that it would not object to the construction of an additional floor. This addition would create 2,500sq ft of tenantable space, which is expected to have a positive impact on the property’s valuation.About IBI Group Holdings Limited (stock code: 1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited is a publicly listed holding company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, focused on investments in the Built Environment. The Group’s investments whilst principally centering around the role of contracting, include businesses providing innovative, high quality manufacturing and supply solutions across a diverse range of the built environment. Our mission is to deliver premium products, services and customer experiences with a strong influence of innovation, sustainability and wellness.

Its revenue increased by 11.7% year-on-year to approximately HK$7,840.0 million (Fiscal 2024: HK$7,016.8 million), despite the dual challenges posed by macroeconomic volatility and uneven recovery in end-consumer demand. Gross profit increased by 15.7% to approximately HK$1,832.6 million, with gross profit margin rising by 0.8 percentage point to 23.4% (Fiscal 2024: HK$1,583.6 million and 22.6%, respectively).

To share the positive results with shareholders, the Board has resolved to recommend a final dividend of HK4.3 cents per share for Fiscal 2025 (Fiscal 2024: HK2.2 cents per share). Together with the interim dividend of HK2.5 cents per share, this makes a total dividend of HK6.8 cents, which is in line with the Group’s dividend policy of distributing no less than 30% of its net profit for the financial year.Mr. YY Hung, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Regina Miracle, said, “We are pleased to report that Regina Miracle achieved low double-digit growth in Fiscal 2025, sustaining its recovery trend despite global macroeconomic challenges. This resilience was ensured by our IDM business model. In a market increasingly characterized by efficiency-driven supply chain agility and value creation focused on differentiated technological barriers, the Group remains committed to its strategy of ‘prioritizing and strengthening core segments’, while flexibly responding to industry adjustments. By leveraging our production capacity in China on domestic demand and utilizing our capacity in Vietnam to serve global markets, we strengthened our ability to seize opportunities from the dual circulation strategy, while bolstering technical reserves to support rapid response to the needs of our brand partners. At the same time, we continued to build product advantages through breakthroughs in craftsmanship innovation, fostering deep synergies with major brand partners. This dual-track strategy of efficiency enhancement and innovation strengthened the Group’s foundation during market headwinds and ensured it is well positioned for future growth.”Business ReviewFosters synergistic development of “Better & Best” products with moderate expansion in intimate wear segmentThis business segment contributed revenue of approximately HK$4,243.4 million during Fiscal 2025, representing a moderate year-on-year increase of 3.0%. Accounting for 54.2 % of the Group’s total revenue, it remained its main source of revenue. The segment’s gross profit increased by 7.2% to approximately HK$1,047.2 million, with gross profit margin rising by 1.0 percentage point to 24.7%. During the Year, the Group continued to optimize its brand partner portfolio by focusing on the “Better & Best” product positioning and strengthening innovative synergies with quality brand partners. As a result, orders from key brand partners for innovative products developed by the Group increased significantly, partially offsetting the fluctuations in orders from a few brand partners due to adjustments in their market strategies.Global sports craze and innovative patented bonding craftsmanship drive robust growth in sports products segmentThis business segment generated revenue of approximately HK$2,934.1 million during the Year, representing a significant year-on-year increase of 26.9% and accounting for 37.4% of the Group’s total revenue. Segmental gross profit was approximately HK$652.8 million, with a gross profit margin of 22.3%. The growing popularity of sports activities around the world, sparked by international sporting events, boosted orders for sports products. In particular, the sports bra segment achieved double-digit growth. In addition, the Group’s differentiated functional apparel products, developed using its proprietary patented bonding (“Bonding”) craftsmanship, recorded strong revenue growth during the Year and became the core growth engine of the sports products segment.Dual-base operations in China and Vietnam and smart transformation boost efficiencyThe Group continued to advance its smart transformation through key initiatives such as structure verticalization, management intellectualization, equipment automation, and supply chain localization to improve production efficiency and precision in cost control. The relocation of the Shenzhen production base to Zhaoqing was completed in October 2024. Meanwhile, the relocation of the R&D department is progressing according to schedule, further strengthening the technological synergy between local innovation and production.In Fiscal 2025, the contribution of the Vietnam production base to the Group’s total revenue reached 85%. As of 31 March 2025, the Group employed approximately 31,900 people in Vietnam and approximately 4,900 people in Mainland China. In the long term, the Group will continue to leverage its Vietnam production base to meet the demands of its international brand partners in the global market, while supporting the “China for China” strategies of its brand partners with the Zhaoqing production base. This dual-track approach is expected to establish a flexible and efficient R&D and production model that caters for brand partners’ need for speed to market.VS China’s localization strategy proved effective, with e-commerce channel driving double-digit growth for the IDM businessVS China’s revenue for the Group’s Fiscal 2025 amounted to approximately HK$1,965.7, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.4%. Net profit amounted to approximately HK$85.6 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately HK$0.2 million. During Fiscal 2025, VS China strengthened its differentiated positioning and localized innovation advantages to precisely cater for the needs of local customers. Its core product lines performed particularly well in e-commerce channels, which led to a double-digit year-on-year growth in the Group’s related IDM business.Driving Development Through Innovation, Cost Optimization, Efficiency Enhancement, and a Diversified and Balanced Market Layout to Strengthen Risks ResilienceIn Fiscal 2026, the global market faces significantly greater uncertainty due to the impact of trade wars, with the gloomy outlook for the consumer market leading to more conservative order placements from brand partners. Meanwhile, amid intensifying competition in the supply chain, product differentiation has become key for supply chain enterprises and brands to stand out from their peers. Over the years, Regina Miracle has consistently invested in R&D innovation and established competitive advantages through differentiated technological craftsmanship and products, while improving its production efficiency and flexibility through automation, standardization and digitalization. These efforts have enabled the Group to maintain a leading position in the face of the challenging market environment.Commitment to “cost optimization and control, efficiency-driven transformation, and debt reduction” to enhance profitabilityThe Group is implementing cost optimization and efficiency enhancement measures that cover a range of aspects, from R&D and production to operations, aiming to improve organizational effectiveness and strengthen efficiency awareness among all staff to enhance the Group’s profitability. For the incremental cash flow generated by future business optimization, the Group will prioritize achieving the medium-term goal of reducing the debt ratio after rewarding shareholders, so as to enhance the capital structure. This is expected to strengthen the Group's financial resilience while balancing shareholder value and long-term business development.Leveraging leading Bonding craftsmanship to drive continuous innovative product launches and gradually increase economies of scaleDrawing on its insights into market trends, the Group has identified innovative product breakthroughs as the core engine for driving future growth. It is committed to developing high value-added products with distinctively differentiated advantages, aiming to stand out from homogeneous competition and enhance its market dominance through value creation. To this end, the Group will fully leverage its leading advantage in Bonding craftsmanship and replicate its previous success in expanding from intimate wear into the sports product segment to make further inroads into the apparel business.

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - IBI Group Holdings Limited(「IBI」或「公司」及其附屬公司統稱為「集團」;股份代號:1547)為一家專注於建築環境方面投資的公司,今日公佈其截至2025年3月31日止年度(「2025財年」或「回顧年內」)之經審核綜合業績。2025財年,全球經濟環境充滿挑戰,為建造業帶來巨大壓力,投標情況亦變得極為激烈。同時,全球貿易緊張局勢引發市場意想不到的波動,促使資金流向亞洲。這趨勢開始為香港市場注入動力,並有望舒緩中國內地製造業所承受的部分壓力。此外,隨著訪港旅遊強勁反彈及市場氣氛改善,這些發展態勢使本港前景愈發樂觀。集團對香港的經濟前景抱有信心,憑藉嚴謹的風險管理、有效的成本控制及對新機遇的策略性把握,集團將能應對不斷變化的環境,並推動可持續增長。回顧年內,集團展現出非凡韌性,並實現穩健的財務表現。公司擁有人應佔溢利飆升約23.0倍至約8.4百萬港元(2024財年:約0.4百萬港元),增長主要由於Building Solutions分部有所改善、確認按公平值計算的金融資產產生的未變現溢利,以及確認上年度投資物業的重大公平值虧損。每股基本及攤薄盈利為1.0港仙(2024財年:0.0港仙)。董事會建議派發截至2025財年之末期股息每股0.5港仙(2024財年:0.5港仙)。IBI主席兼行政總裁Neil Howard先生表示:「儘管全球經濟環境充滿挑戰,集團於2025財年仍實現強勁表現,盈利能力顯著提升。在回顧年內後期,集團更成功獲得總價值超過2025財年的總營業額的四個大型項目。卓越的表現充分印證我們策略部署的成效、强大的韌性,以及快速應變的能力。展望未來,我們將繼續加強業務發展,靈活應對市場變化,不斷求進,以為股東創造長期價值及可持續的回報。」業務回顧1.承建IBI在香港及澳門提供世界級的室內裝修及樓宇翻新服務,主要為不同行業的客戶擔任總承建商。建築業在回顧年內大部份時間持續受壓,儘管集團完成的項目數量較去年同期有所增加,但其中多個項目規模較小,營業額因而下降。然而,憑藉集團的商務團隊嚴格控制成本及積極進行結算工作,承建分部在充滿挑戰的環境下仍能實現穩健業績。回顧年內,集團錄得來自承建的溢利約7.4百萬港元(2024財年:約15.2百萬港元),完成12個項目,獲授13個新項目。值得留意的是,於回顧年內後期,集團獲得總值超過2025財年整年營業額的四個大型項目。2025年5月,IBI就一項潛在投資訂立諒解備忘錄,以開發一個位於菲律賓馬尼拉市約318公頃的新中央商業區。憑藉在建築及項目管理方面的專業知識,集團將擔任項目顧問,監督項目,並就建設、採購及項目進展提供專業意見。此合作符合集團的長遠策略,倘若項目落實,將拓闊集團的收入來源,並推動其長遠增長。這些項目將為2026財年奠定堅實基礎。在澳門,IBI獲得重新開展業務後的首個項目。集團正與以往的客戶重建關係,並積極參與新項目的投標。2.Building Solutions集團的附屬公司Building Solutions Limited(「BSL」)提供可提升建築環境表現及福祉的產品及服務,以為用者提供現代化、健康及高性能的空間。BSL的業績持續顯著改善,於回顧年內錄得分部溢利約0.6百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約0.3百萬港元),銷售收益同比增長58.2%。BSL於2025財年錄得盈利,標誌此初創業務實現重大里程碑,透過持續研究及發掘新產品,集團相信此分部在提供優質建築產品及服務的聲譽將能進一步提升。3.策略投資集團成立策略投資分部旨在將資金有效分配至新的市場領域,並擴大集團於建築環境領域的影響力。回顧年內,集團的策略投資分部錄得分部溢利約為0.9百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約3.2百萬港元)。該分部溢利是由於集團於大型房地產投資信託基金的投資出現未實現公平值收益而實現,該香港上市公司擁有及管理多元化及優質的投資組合。就集團的日本資產而言,即位於北海道俱知安町的地塊,集團正持續對該地塊進行分析並制定最佳戰略。分析顯示更大規模的開發可帶來顯著的經濟效益及更高的投資回報,因此集團正考慮擴大此項目。展望未來,集團將繼續發掘潛在的投資機會,並期待於該領域公佈更多佳績。4.投資物業集團的物業投資附屬公司專注於收購實體房地產,以為集團帶來額外收入,並擴大其地域覆蓋範圍。集團的物業投資部於2025財年錄得分部溢利約為2.5百萬港元(2024財年:分部虧損約8.1百萬港元),保持穩健業績並維持百分之百的出租率。回顧年內,集團委聘規劃建築師對西翼屋頂區域進行勘測,並為額外的商業空間進行初步設計。隨後,集團與當地政府規劃辦公室舉行了規劃前會議。規劃辦公室給予了積極反饋,並表示不反對增建一層。此次增建將創造2,500平方英呎的可租用空間,預期將對該物業的估值產生正面影響。關於IBI Group Holdings Limited(股份代號︰1547)IBI Group Holdings Limited 為香港主板上市控股公司,專注於建築環境方面的投資。集團的投資以承建為核心,同時涵蓋多個業務範疇,提供建築環境多個領域的創新、優質製造及供應解決方案。集團的使命是通過創新、可持續發展及健康的理念,提供卓越的產品、服務和客戶體驗。有關IBI的詳情,請瀏覽網站:https://ibighl.com/.
