THE residential property boom and the robust sales it has delivered gave Wing Tai Holdings plenty to cheer about in the first quarter of its financial year.

Profit and turnover posted healthy growth as buyers snapped up more homes developed by Wing Tai in the three months to Sept 30 than in the whole of last year.

Net profit jumped 42 per cent to $46.33 million, up from $32.59 million the same quarter last year, while revenue surged 106 per cent to $277.18 million, up from $134.3 million.
