Symmetry Group Lowers Growth Outlook to 10-15% After 34% FY26 Revenue Jump

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

Management attributed the revised outlook to a normalisation after recent strong performance. It also expects export sales to recover following disruptions caused by tensions in the Middle East.

FY26 Revenue Reaches Rs1 Billion

The Karachi-based technology and digital transformation group reported net revenue of Rs1 billion in FY26, compared with Rs767 million a year earlier.

Gross profit increased 20% to Rs497 million. However, the gross margin declined to 48.4% from 54.1%. The company attributed the reduction to additional delivery capacity and higher human resource costs.

Operating profit rose 26% to Rs270 million. Profit after tax also increased 26% to Rs215 million.

Earnings per share reached Rs0.76, compared with Rs0.60 in FY25.

The company reported a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.38 and a current ratio of 1.94.

International markets already contribute 50% of the group’s revenue. Meanwhile, the technology and telecom sectors account for 59% of its business.

Jazz Contracts and AI Subsidiary IPO

During FY26, Symmetry Group signed three contracts with Jazz worth Rs2.2 billion over three years.

The company also approved an investment plan of Rs1.2 billion. In addition, it filed for a Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) initial public offering of its artificial intelligence subsidiary, Aurion.AI.

The subsidiary has a valuation of Rs750 million.

Symmetry Group also received FinanceAsia 2026 awards, including Gold for Best Managed Company in Technology.

Four Pillars Drive Future Growth Strategy

Management’s growth strategy focuses on four key areas.

First, the group plans to expand its AI-focused initiatives through Affair Studio and Aurion.AI. Second, it aims to turn existing solutions, including Influsense and Cartsight, into scalable products.

Third, the company plans to expand its presence in the United States and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) markets. Fourth, it aims to target mid-tier small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with spending potential of Rs10 million to Rs50 million.

This approach is intended to reduce the group’s reliance on major accounts.

International Presence and Diverse Client Base

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

The group serves more than 50 clients across telecommunications, banking, fast-moving consumer goods, retail and pharmaceuticals.
