Meta Infotech Ltd, a cybersecurity solutions provider, reported its highest-ever half-yearly revenue of Rs 2,101 million in H1FY26, up 14% year-on-year from Rs 1,840 million. Despite the strong revenue growth, profitability declined—EBITDA fell 16% to Rs 158 million (margin at 7.5% versus 10.2% earlier), and profit after tax dropped 7% to Rs 104 million (margin at 5.0% versus 6.1%). The profit dip was attributed to a 36% jump in employee costs from strategic hiring (headcount rose from 265 to 310 across new cities like Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore) and a Rs 53 million foreign currency loss tied to a delayed major customer deal. Short-term debt rose temporarily due to bill discounting for a delayed customer payment, but the company says this will normalize by March 2026.
Revenue growth is a positive signal showing strong order momentum and business expansion, but shrinking margins and one-off FX losses may weigh on near-term sentiment. Investors should watch whether the increased headcount and new geography investments translate into improved profitability in upcoming quarters.
