Mount Everest Gold Group has demonstrated significant growth in its New Jewellery Retail segment, with sales rising to CN¥236.33 million for the first half of 2025 compared to CN¥98.51 million a year ago. This increase is attributed to higher gold prices and low-cost inventory, enhancing gross profit margins. The company transitioned from a net loss to a net income of CN¥75.25 million, aided by strategic disposal of its Fresh Food Retail segment and inclusion in the S&P Global BMI Index.

Overview: United Energy Group Limited is an investment holding company involved in the upstream oil, natural gas, clean energy, and energy trading sectors across Pakistan, South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa with a market capitalization of HK$13.70 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily derived from its exploration and production activities, which generated HK$9.13 billion, and its trading operations, which contributed HK$7.99 billion.
Market Cap: HK$13.7B
United Energy Group has recently turned profitable, with net income reaching HK$740.15 million for the first half of 2025, despite a decline from the previous year. The company’s production has increased significantly, driven by effective management and new discoveries, though its sales slightly decreased to HK$8.09 billion. While operating cash flow robustly covers debt, insider selling raises concerns about internal confidence. The board and management are relatively new with limited tenure experience, potentially impacting strategic decisions. Despite low return on equity at 10.1%, strong asset coverage of long-term liabilities suggests financial stability amidst volatile earnings performance influenced by large one-off items.
