Q-Tech (1478 HK) Summary

Core Content

Q-Tech has announced a positive FY25 profit alert, with earnings growth of 400–450% YoY, exceeding both the analyst's and market expectations. This growth is primarily attributed to the expansion of its non-mobile business segments, including IoT, auto, and XR, as well as gains from the disposal of Q-Tech India and a turnaround in Newmax's earnings.
