Profit attributable to owners of the parent for the year was $45.466 million, up 19.5% compared to the previous year, with basic earnings per share of 4.12 US cents. According to the announcement, the company is globally investing in its SpeedFusion Connect infrastructure and is preparing to launch new products specifically designed for Starlink applications. A research report from UOB Kay Hian noted that PLOVER BAY TECH's full-year 2025 net profit increased by 19.5% year-on-year to $45.466 million, exceeding the brokerage's expectations by 4%. This was primarily driven by an improvement in gross margin and stronger-than-anticipated operational leverage. The company had previously announced it is exploring a spin-off and separate Nasdaq listing of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peplink Holdings. The brokerage expects the company will continue to focus on product expansion in the near term while maintaining strict cost control over the medium to long term.
