HYPEBEAST (00150) has issued an announcement. Compared with the revenue of approximately HK$279 million and profit before tax of approximately HK$6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Group is expected to record revenue growth of more than 10% and profit before tax growth of more than 150% for the six months ended September 30, 2026 (the Reporting Period). The expected increase in profit before tax for the Reporting Period is primarily attributable to (i) revenue growth driven by major events, mainly arising from increased demand for the Group's media services driven by the hosting of the 2026 FIFA World Cup during the Reporting Period; and (ii) the stabilization of the Group's gross profit margin.
