Chuan Hup Holdings has reported net profit of US$2.1 ($2.67) million for the half-year ended Dec 31, 2025. This represents a y-o-y increase of US$1.5 million or an improvement exceeding three times.
The company attributes the stronger performance to disposal gains of investment securities of US$0.8 million and a higher share of results from an Australian joint venture of US$3.7 million following the completion of a property development project. This was partially offset by lower mark-to-market gains recognised on the company’s investment securities of US$1.4 million.
Earnings per share rose 109% y-o-y from 0.11 US cents to 0.23 US cents, while revenue increased y-o-y by 32% from US$2.7 million to US$3.6 million, mainly due to the afore-mentioned securities disposal gain.
Chuan Hup’s cash holdings increased more than 130% y-o-y from nearly US$14 million to US$32.4 million.
No interim dividend has been declared. The directors of Chuan Hup say that due to the uncertain global economic outlook arising from geopolitical tensions, the company will continue to be prudent when considering new investments.
