TOM Group (SEHK:2383) Stock Premium Persists Even As Losses Narrow

TOM Group’s share price closed at HK$0.37 after the latest results, little changed over the past week, yet the earnings story is far from flat. The media stock remains loss making, with trailing 12 month net income from continuing operations in a loss of HK$81.104 million, which keeps pressure on sentiment.

The real pivot for long term investors is not today’s muted price move but the gradual tightening of those losses over recent years, set against a rich P/S multiple of about 2x compared with lower industry levels. This set of H1 2026 numbers keeps that profitability journey firmly in focus.

Is TOM Group’s 2x P/S multiple a justified premium or a warning sign given ongoing losses? Compare how the market is pricing SEHK:2383 against its fundamentals on our valuation analysis for TOM Group

TOM Group: Gradual Loss Tightening Supports Cautious Optimism

TOM Group is still loss making, yet the direction of the income statement gives supporters something to work with. Revenue in H1 2026 stayed broadly in line with H1 2024, while the reported loss for the half year narrowed materially. Basic EPS loss also shrank, and the trailing 12 month loss from continuing operations is roughly half the prior year level. For anyone arguing that the core digital and media assets are slowly becoming more efficient, these figures sit broadly in line with that view.

Losses And Share Drift Keep Bearish Concerns Alive

The bear case on TOM Group also finds support in the latest numbers. The company still reports a net loss of HK$95.009 million for H1 2026 and a trailing loss from continuing operations of HK$81.104 million. That ongoing red ink, combined with a share price of HK$0.37 that has been flat over 7 days and down over 30 days and 90 days, fits a market view that remains cautious. The business is improving, but not yet proving clear profitability.

With TOM Group still unprofitable and trading on a premium P/S multiple, the real question is whether the balance sheet and cash flows can support this grind toward profitability. Check the full solvency and liquidity picture in our financial health analysis of TOM Group stock.
