Octopus Digital Limited: performance and outlook

Business Recorder’s review of Octopus Digital’s performance says standalone net sales fell 40.61 percent in 2025 to Rs505.225 million, following a 5.80 percent decline the previous year. The company attributed the latest reduction largely to shifting international project revenue to its UAE group entity, Octopus Digital FZ LLC, as it reorganised operations. Despite lower sales, operating profit rose 16.93 percent and net profit declined by a more modest 6.20 percent to Rs86.708 million.

For the first half of CY26, sales increased 5.15 percent to Rs188.67 million, but Octopus Digital reported a net loss of Rs30.966 million, compared with a Rs0.06 per-share loss in the same period a year earlier. The review cites higher costs and expenses, while other income reached Rs59.09 million. The company is pursuing digitalisation and aftermarket support activity in overseas markets, including the Middle East, the US and Europe, while rising local operating costs and taxes are weighing on domestic profitability.
