First-half profit reaches HKD 2.935 billion

According to The Globe and Mail, Guangdong Investment reported unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2026, with revenue from continuing businesses of HKD 10.2 billion, up 8.4 percent year over year.

Water resources drive the comparison

The company profile carrying the interim announcement reported consolidated revenue from continuing operations of HKD 10.217 billion, compared with HKD 9.428 billion in the first half of 2025, according to MegahubHK.

The same report attributed the increase mainly to water resources. That segment generated HKD 7.769 billion in first-half revenue, up 8.2 percent year over year, while water supply volume for the Dongjiang-Shenzhen project fell 3.2 percent to 1.11 billion cubic meters.

Analyst target stands above HKD 10

For investors, the key contrast is clear: earnings and dividends improved, while the water supply volume metric declined. Guangdong Investment's HKD 57.96 billion market capitalization also places the share price near the top of its HKD 6.63 to HKD 9.03 52-week range.
