Points clés à retenir
The stock surge follows a major turnaround in Uniwax's financial performance. In the first half of 2025, the company posted revenue of 15.7 billion FCFA, up 12.5% from 14 billion FCFA in the same period of 2024. More importantly, the company has dramatically reduced its losses. The operating loss for the first half of 2025 was 314 million FCFA, an 83% improvement from the 1.86 billion FCFA loss recorded in the first half of 2024. The company's management noted that no losses were recorded in the second quarter, a significant improvement from the 329 million FCFA loss in the first quarter. This improvement came from reducing inventory levels at the factory and better production management. Overall, Uniwax reported a net profit of 8.2 billion FCFA for the first half of 2025, compared to a net loss of 1.9 billion FCFA in the same period last year. This represents a complete reversal of the company's fortunes.
