For the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated strong top-line momentum, evidenced by a robust 21.86% year-over-year revenue growth and a steady 5.87% sequential increase. Operational efficiency remains a core strength, as reflected in a solid operating margin of 60%. While the firm maintained high profitability, net profit experienced a slight sequential contraction of 2.47%, diverging from the strong 20.85% year-over-year expansion. This variance, alongside an 8% sequential decline in earnings per share, highlights the impact of non-operating costs, including depreciation and interest expenses, on the bottom line.
