An announcement from Sietel Limited ( (AU:SSL) ) is now available.

Sietel Limited reported a sharp fall in group operating profit after tax to $1.27 million, down from $2.40 million a year earlier, mainly due to lower gains from the sale of shares and write-downs in its portfolio of unlisted investments amid challenging venture capital conditions. While Cook’s Body Works continued to benefit from firm orders and improved materials availability, its profitability was constrained by rising input costs, taxes and labour shortages, and Alliance Appliances Australia remained under pressure from regulatory constraints and higher freight and import costs. The group expanded its ASX-listed share portfolio, which carried substantial unrealised gains at the end of September 2025, retained a steady cash position to pursue future investment opportunities, and continued to hold and develop its agricultural property through Twin Rivers Pastoral, while upholding its long-standing policy of reinvesting profits and again opting not to pay an ordinary dividend in favour of supporting long-term growth in shareholder value.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SSL) stock is a Hold with a A$8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sietel Limited stock, see the AU:SSL Stock Forecast page.
