Latest Quarter Info
In the quarter ending December 2025, the company demonstrated positive revenue momentum, achieving growth of approximately 0.38% sequentially and 2.82% year-over-year. Despite this top-line expansion, profitability faced downward pressure, with net profit declining by 5.85% quarter-over-quarter and 2.64% year-over-year. This divergence between revenue growth and bottom-line performance is reflected in the earnings per share, which fell by 6.26% on a sequential basis. The financial results highlight a complex operating environment where rising interest obligations and other cost factors have offset the gains in revenue. While the company maintained a tax rate of 24%, the overall margin profile suggests that operational efficiency or cost management remains a critical area of focus as the firm navigates these mixed performance signals.
