New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: HK$22m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (7.4% net profit margin). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (HK$22m sold).

Kingboard Holdings Limited Provides Earnings Guidance for the Year Ended 31 December 2022 Kingboard Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2022. The Group is expecting to record a net profit of approximately HKD 3.9 billion to HKD 4.5 billion for the year ended 31 December 2022, a decrease in net profit of approximately 58% to 64% as compared with the corresponding period in 2021. The expected decrease in the net profits of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2022 is primarily attributable to the decrease in both unit selling price and quantity of the laminates products, and the drop from high level in unit selling price of chemicals products manufactured and sold by the Group, and the allowance for credit loss of bonds investments held by the Group.
