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.
