The latest update is out from S.D. Standard Drilling PLC ( (DE:S1P) ).

S.D. Standard ETC Plc reported a net profit of USD 0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, reversing a net loss of USD 4.0 million in the same period a year earlier. The improved performance was driven by realized and unrealized gains in the company’s investment portfolio, highlighting stronger portfolio dynamics after a challenging 2024.

As an investment entity, Standard ETC reports results without consolidating its subsidiaries, emphasizing returns from its financial holdings rather than operating income. The company ended the quarter with a solid cash position of USD 75.5 million, excluding cash held by subsidiaries, which strengthens its capacity for future investments and potentially enhances its flexibility in capital allocation for shareholders.
