Guoco Group's fiscal 2026 results showed the cost of weaker property conditions and higher UK remote gaming duties. Profit attributable to shareholders fell 20% to HK$3,213.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, according to Minichart.

Charges reshape the earnings picture

Revenue declined 10% to HK$22,022.4 million. Hospitality and leisure recorded HK$1,488.2 million of impairment provisions, while Guoco recognized a HK$1,264.1 million allowance for foreseeable losses on China development properties. A GBP6.5 million payment fraud in Rank's Spanish businesses also reduced operating profit.

Financial services remained a relative support, with profit before tax at HLFG rising 3.4% to HK$1,675.4 million. Principal investment profit before tax fell 32% to HK$1,641.0 million, while property development and investment produced HK$491.0 million after the China allowance.

Dividend and dates in focus

The board proposed a final dividend of HK$2.90 per share, unchanged from fiscal 2025. Combined with the HK$0.70 interim dividend, total fiscal-year distribution would rise to HK$3.60 per share, subject to shareholder approval.

Guoco's investor-relations page lists the annual general meeting for November 13, 2026. The proposed final dividend has a November 20 record date and a December 2 payment date, subject to approval.
