The broker projected HKELECTRIC-SS' profit growth to continue in 2H25, mainly due to the decline in HIBOR and finance costs, given the 100% HKD risk exposure of its debt and the hedging of foreign currency positions into HKD with derivatives.

HSBC Global Research raised its 2025-2027 profit forecasts for HKELECTRIC-SS by 1%, reflecting the decrease in finance costs.
