SciDev Ltd ( (AU:SDV) ) just unveiled an announcement.

SciDev Limited reported half-year revenues of $47.9 million for the period ended 31 December 2025, down 4% from a year earlier, while its net loss after tax widened sharply to $2.14 million from $68,000. The result pushed basic and diluted earnings per share to a loss of 1.13 cents, compared with a 0.04 cent loss previously, and the company again did not declare a dividend.

The deterioration in earnings, despite only a modest decline in revenue, points to rising costs, margin pressure or one-off impacts weighing on profitability during the half. Net tangible assets per share also eased to 12.16 cents from 13.32 cents at 30 June 2025, suggesting a slight weakening in balance sheet backing for shareholders and underscoring a more challenging operating environment.

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.
