Zhitong Finance APP News, EPS Chuangjian Technology (03860.HK) announced that the Group expects to record an increase in loss after tax of approximately HK$8 million to approximately HK$12 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025. The expected increase in loss for the current period compared with the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a decline in revenue from the IRO and CRO services business as a result of extremely intense market competition, as well as a decrease in gross profit from the healthcare products and pharmaceutical business affected by rising procurement costs and clearance of low-priced inventory. During the current period, in view of the challenging market environment, the Group also expects the apparel business to record a segment loss of approximately HK$2 million, which is comparable to the same period in 2025.
