Symmetry Group Growth: Company Targets 10-15% After 34% FY26 Revenue Rise

KARACHI: Symmetry Group Limited (SYM) expects its revenue growth to moderate to 10-15% year-on-year in the coming period, following a 34% increase in FY26 revenue and strong growth over the past five years.

Management attributed the revised outlook to normalisation after a period of strong performance and the recovery of export sales disrupted by tensions in the Middle East.

In FY26, the Karachi-based technology and digital transformation group recorded net revenue of Rs1 billion, compared with Rs767 million in the preceding fiscal year.

Gross profit increased 20% to Rs497 million, although the gross profit margin declined to 48.4% from 54.1%, reflecting additional delivery capacity and higher human resource costs.

Operating profit rose 26% to Rs270 million, while profit after tax also increased 26% to Rs215 million. Earnings per share improved to Rs0.76 from Rs0.60 in FY25.

Over the past five years, the company recorded a compound annual growth rate of approximately 29-32% in both revenue and profits.

The company’s balance sheet remained primarily equity-funded, with total assets of Rs3.3 billion and shareholders’ equity of Rs2.4 billion, representing 72% of total assets. Its debt-to-equity ratio stood at 0.38, while the current ratio was 1.94.

International markets contributed 50% of the company’s revenue, while the technology and telecommunications sectors accounted for 59% of its business.

During FY26, SYM signed three contracts with Jazz worth Rs2.2 billion over three years and approved an investment plan of Rs1.2 billion.

The company also filed for a Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) initial public offering of its artificial intelligence subsidiary, Aurion.AI, which was valued at Rs750 million.

Additionally, Symmetry Group received recognition at the FinanceAsia 2026 awards, including Gold for Best Managed Company in Technology.

Looking ahead, management’s growth strategy centres on four key areas: expanding AI-driven initiatives through Affair Studio and Aurion.AI, developing product-based solutions such as Influsense and Cartsight, strengthening its presence in the United States and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) markets, and targeting mid-tier small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The company aims to serve SMEs with business requirements ranging from Rs10 million to Rs50 million, reducing its reliance on a limited number of major clients.

Symmetry Group operates through subsidiaries including Symmetry Digital, Iris Digital, Affair Studio, Symmetry Group EMEA in the UAE, Aurion.AI and the recently acquired US-based LogoDesignGuru.

The group serves more than 50 clients across telecommunications, banking, fast-moving consumer goods, retail and pharmaceutical sectors, with operations spanning Pakistan, MENA, Asia-Pacific and North America.
