Cemtrex Inc. (CETX), a diversified technology company, announced significant financial growth in the first half of fiscal 2025, with revenue climbing 20% year-over-year to $41 million. This growth is attributed to robust performance within its core businesses, especially the Vicon Security division, which has achieved sustainable profitability.
The company reported an operating income of $2.3 million for the first half of the year, illustrating a marked transition to profitability compared to previous periods. Under the leadership of CEO Saagar Govil, Cemtrex is shifting focus towards accelerating its growth strategy through targeted acquisitions.
Cemtrex is currently evaluating two acquisition targets that have the potential to add between $3-4 million in annual operating income. To finance these acquisitions, the company intends to utilize a combination of internal capital, seller financing, and equity raises that are specifically "non-toxic," aiming to prevent highly dilutive or unfavorable financing terms.
Since 2021, Cemtrex has nearly doubled its revenue and improved its profit margins, reflecting the company's execution capabilities in achieving acquisitive growth. The focus remains on acquiring businesses that deliver immediate earnings and enhance long-term value, aligning with Cemtrex's strategic growth objectives.
