Market Chatter: China's Corporate Profits Decline for Third Straight Year in 2025

MT Newswires Live16:09

Net profit of 5,400 listed Chinese nonfinancial firms fell 2% to 2.54 trillion yuan in 2025, marking the third consecutive annual decline, Nikkei Asia reported Thursday.

Loss-making companies surged to 1,458, or 27% of the total, nearly 100 more than the previous record in 2024, according to the report. By comparison, only 2% of Tokyo's prime market-listed companies are unprofitable.

Real estate developer China Vanke's (HKG:2202, SHE:000002) net loss widened 80% to 88.5 billion yuan. Of 108 property developers, 59 posted losses, Nikkei Asia wrote.

Retailers also struggled as weak housing markets dampened consumer sentiment, according to the report.
