CKI profit rises nearly 2pc, heralds 29th year of dividend growth

CK Infrastructure (1038) posted 1.85 percent year-on-year growth in its full-year net profit of HK$8.27 billion in 2025.

It distributed a final dividend of HK$1.88 per share, bringing the total dividend for this year to HK$2.61, up 1.1 percent, marking its 29th consecutive year of dividend growth since listing in 1996

Its revenue rose 6.91 percent to HK$41.7 billion.

Profit contribution from Power Assets (0006) was HK$2.25 billion, up 2 percent over last year, while that of HK Electric Investment (2638) recorded a 1 percent increase from a year ago.

In the UK, CKI's portfolio recorded a profit of HK$3.98 billion, a decrease of 3 percent in local currency terms, primarily due to a lower profit contribution from UK Power Networks as high true-ups from the previous regulatory period were recorded in 2024.

Its Australian portfolio's profit contribution rose 2 percent to HK$1.78 billion in local currency terms.

Looking ahead, despite the challenges in the macro-economic landscape, there are potential opportunities for growth and expansion, with market conditions - such as tightened liquidity and rising capital costs – working in CKI's favour, the company said.

The firm is also able to benefit from the network of strategic partners within the CK Group, including CK Asset (1113) and Power Assets, to pool resources for the right acquisitions that align with our shared investment philosophies, it added.

Chairman Victor Li Tzar-kuoi said: "There is considerable value embedded in our infrastructure portfolio of world-class assets, further backed by CKI's business development strategy."
