SciDev Ltd ( (AU:SDV) ) has shared an update.
SciDev Ltd reported a challenging first half of FY26, with revenue slipping to $47.9 million from $49.9 million a year earlier and gross margins contracting to 28%. Management attributed the weaker performance primarily to disruption in fracturing schedules within its Energy Services division and higher costs in its Overseas Water Technologies operations, which reduced reported EBITDA to $0.4 million and underlying EBITDA to $1.1 million, despite maintaining a net cash position of $4.4 million and 54% of revenue from recurring sources.
The results underscore operational headwinds in key business lines but also highlight the resilience provided by the company’s recurring revenue base and net cash position. Investors will focus on how effectively SciDev can stabilise costs in its overseas operations and restore growth in Energy Services activity to support a recovery in margins and earnings over the remainder of the financial year.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SDV) stock is a Hold with a A$0.35 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SciDev Ltd stock, see the AU:SDV Stock Forecast page.
