Senetas posts flat half-year revenue as delayed Middle East deals and Menlo stake shape outlook

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Senetas Corporation Limited ( (AU:SEN) ) just unveiled an update.

Senetas reported half-year revenue of $9.5 million for the six months to 31 December 2025, broadly flat year-on-year, as some Middle East sales were deferred pending export permits though expected to complete in the March quarter and add $1.3 million in revenue and $1.0 million in profit before tax. While consolidated continuing operations swung to a modest loss, the core Senetas segment remained profitable, supported by strong revenue growth in EMEA and Asia Pacific, a strengthened balance sheet following the Votiro sale, $8.7 million in cash rising to an anticipated $15 million after receipt of Menlo Security proceeds, and a $19.5 million indirect Menlo stake underpinning funding flexibility for product investment and capital management.

CEO Andrew Wilson flagged significant new opportunities in Asia, the Middle East and South America centred on sovereign encryption that could materially expand the business over the next 12–18 months. Despite temporary margin pressure and timing risks on large deals, management signalled a positive sales pipeline and expects both revenue and profit growth over the coming year, reinforcing Senetas’s positioning as a niche high-assurance encryption provider with improved financial optionality for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SEN) stock is a Hold with a A$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Senetas Corporation Limited stock, see the AU:SEN Stock Forecast page.
