Business
Oriental Enterprise Holdings Limited (0018.HK), an investment holding company headquartered in Tai Po, Hong Kong, and founded in 1969, primarily engages in newspaper publishing, digital media operations, property investment, and money lending services; its core publications and platforms include the flagship Oriental Daily News, Hong Kong's longest-running best-selling daily newspaper since 1977, the on.cc online news portal with high monthly page views, Oriental Daily News Web and ePaper for digital replicas, onCH for 24-hour news streaming and live broadcasts covering current affairs, entertainment, sports, and horse racing, Money18 for real-time financial quotes and market data, on Football for soccer coverage, and on Racing for racing information; operations span Hong Kong and Australia with approximately 779 employees. The company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in August 1987 as Oriental Press Group Limited before changing its name to Oriental Enterprise Holdings Limited in August 2021 to reflect its diversified business encompassing print and digital media alongside financial and property segments; it generates revenue primarily from newspaper publication (around HK$500 million in fiscal 2025), money lending (HK$25.8 million), and other segments including property investments and canteen operations. Recent developments include sustained investment in digital enhancements such as mobile apps, screen mirroring technology, and simplified Chinese content for mainland China audiences, alongside profit guidance of HK$50-55 million for fiscal year ended March 2025 amid economic challenges and a 13% revenue decline to HK$567 million in 2024, with no major acquisitions or partnerships announced in the past two years as the group focuses on cost management and new media competitiveness.
