Established in 1929 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2011, Chow Tai Fook

Jewellery (CTF) is a leading jeweller in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. As of 31

March 2026, it had 5,689 points of sale (POS), 5,524 of which were in mainland China (5,305

Chow Tai Fook Jewellery POS and 219 POS under other brands, including CTF Watch, Hearts

products are gold products, gem-set jewellery, platinum and karat gold products and

watches.

Valuation Method and Risk Statement

which could dampen consumers' spending on jewellery; 2) lab-grown diamonds could gain

not be able to differentiate their products; 2) relationship with franchisees that could impact

the operations of franchised stores; 3) the ability to increase gross margin by strengthening

fixed-price product offerings, given uncertainty about the recovery in consumer confidence;

and 4) potential closures of stores, notably franchised stores in low-tier cities, due to weak
