According to the financial statements, Walton Hi-Tech Industries' sales rose by 8.48 percent, or Tk215.86 crore, during the July–December 2025 period compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Supported by a stable foreign exchange environment and prudent cost management in raw material procurement, the company's profit increased by Tk58.87 crore year on year to Tk363.34 crore.
The company's EPS for the second quarter of the current financial year (July–December 2025) increased to Tk10.90, up from Tk9.14 in the same period of the previous financial year. During the same period, the company's net asset value per share (NAVPS) stood at Tk257.24 without revaluation and Tk358.41 with revaluation.
For the six months ended 31 December 2025, Walton's net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) rose sharply to Tk19.41, compared to Tk6.30 in the corresponding period of the previous year. The significant improvement in operating cash flow was mainly attributed to an 8.07 percent increase in cash collection from customers and an 18.97 percent reduction in payments to raw material suppliers and other vendors during the period.
Despite the increase in value-added tax on refrigerators and air conditioners from 7.5 percent to 15 percent in the 2025–26 financial year, the company's operating cash flow remained strong.
Looking ahead, the company's management expressed optimism that the growth momentum in sales, profitability and other key financial indicators would be sustained in the upcoming quarters of the current financial year.
