Datatec forecasts significant H1 FY26 earnings growth

Datatec Limited, the international Information and Communications Technology (ICT) company, has issued a trading statement forecasting strong financial performance for the six months ended 31 August 2025 (H1 FY26). The company expects earnings per share and headline earnings per share to be between US cents 21.0 and US cents 23.0, representing increases of 85.8% to 103.5% and over 100% respectively, compared to H1 FY25.

Underlying earnings per share for H1 FY26 are projected to be between US cents 18.0 and US cents 20.0, a rise of 33.3% to 48.1% from the recalculated H1 FY25 figure of US cents 13.5. This positive outlook follows strong financial performances across all divisions, with Westcon maintaining expanding margins and Logicalis International and Latin America showing improved profitability.

Datatec has revised its definition of underlying earnings, now excluding share-based payments, applied from FY26 onwards for better alignment with other adjusted earnings metrics. The company anticipates releasing its interim results for H1 FY26 on or about 30 October 2025.
