PAX Global projects minimum 30% rise in H1 2026 earnings despite HK$50 million goodwill impairment

Bulletin Express06-30

PAX Global Technology Limited released a profit alert indicating that unaudited consolidated net profit for the six months ending 30 June 2026 is expected to be at least 30% higher than the HK$391.00 million recorded in the prior‐year period. This implies a floor of about HK$508.30 million for first-half 2026 profit.

Management attributed the anticipated earnings uplift to solid revenue expansion in the United States and Canada (USCA) region and continued operational savings derived from stricter expense controls. The positive impact from these factors is expected to outweigh a HK$50.00 million goodwill impairment linked to Pax Technology Australia Pty Ltd. and adverse foreign-exchange movements during the period.

The Board cautioned that rising prices for certain components—particularly memory chips amid ongoing shifts in global semiconductor supply and demand—could pressure gross margins and sales performance in the second half of the year. Nevertheless, the company expressed confidence in the resilience of its operations.

The profit guidance is based on the Group’s unaudited management accounts and has not yet been reviewed by the company’s auditor. Detailed interim results are scheduled for release in August 2026.

Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in PAX Global’s securities.
