Mitchell Services Limited ( (AU:MSV) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Mitchell Services Limited reported a sharp turnaround in profitability for the quarter and half year to 31 December 2025, driven by improved weather, the absence of client-driven delays and scope reductions, and the normalisation of projects that had incurred ramp-up costs in FY25. Quarterly EBITDA rose 71% to $9.6m, EBT swung to a $4.1m profit from a loss a year earlier, and operating cash flow surged 129% to $11.0m, pushing the balance sheet into a net cash position of $7.2m. For the first half, revenue grew modestly to $102.4m, but EBITDA jumped 69% to $21.4m and EBT climbed to $10.2m from a loss in the prior period, with margins and return on invested capital improving markedly. The company also booked a non-cash $1.4m impairment after a bushfire destroyed a rig in Western Australia, with insurance proceeds expected to more than offset that charge in the next quarter. Operating an average of 62 rigs from a fleet of 90 and having reduced capital expenditure, Mitchell highlights the potential upside leverage should rising commodity prices for metals such as copper and gold translate into stronger drilling demand, even as coal-related activity remains weak.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MSV) stock is a Hold with a A$0.35 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mitchell Services Limited stock, see the AU:MSV Stock Forecast page.
