CCBI commented in its research report that NEW WORLD DEV (00017.HK)'s results for the fiscal year ended June 2024 were expectedly disappointing. Management changes have brought more uncertainty, and business restructuring and market recovery are underway.

Although NEW WORLD DEV's earnings outlook is bleak, CCBI noted that its financial performance is stabilizing. As the uncertainty brought by management changes remains unresolved, Ma Siu-cheung's appointment as CEO is expected to be transitional, and the unsettled third-generation succession issue may hinder NEW WORLD DEV's operations.
