消息面上，近日，美国家装零售连锁品牌家得宝发布的2025财年三季度财报显示，公司当季主要业绩指 标不及预期。因美国房地产市场持续低迷，消费者对家装家居商品需求疲软，公司还下调了全年业绩指 引。花旗指，创科实业最大的客户家得宝反映美国消费市场的动态，而创科实业的业务重心偏向专业领 域，并占其总销售额约七成，因此维持其今年预测。该行指出，明年起创科有望加快增长，如果家得宝 业绩未达预期导致创科实业股价回落，相信会是该股的买入时机。 此外，高盛参考了创科实业竞争对手史丹利（002588）百得及主要客户家得宝的第三季表现，预期创科 实业下半年销售维持韧性，但收入增长或较上半年放缓，受Milwaukee产品线出货调整及秋季促销活动 影响；因此，该行维持创科实业全年收入同比增长5%预测不变，但料下半年收入增幅将由上半年的7% 降至3%。 创科实业(00669)跌超3%，截至发稿，跌3.5%，报85.4港元，成交额3.32亿港元。 ...
