MTI Wireless Edge (LSE:MWE) delivered double-digit growth across revenue and profits during the first half of 2026, supported by increasing demand for defence products, smart water management technology and wireless communications solutions.
For the six months ended 30 June 2026, revenue increased 11% to $26.7 million, while operating profit climbed 21% to $3.0 million. Net profit advanced 28% to $2.5 million, with the group’s gross margin improving to 33.8%.
MTI also maintained a strong balance sheet, ending the period with net cash of $7.7 million after paying a $3.0 million dividend.
All three of the group’s operating divisions contributed to the first-half improvement. Mottech recorded the strongest expansion in both revenue and profit, while MTI Summit benefited from operating scalability and additional defence contracts secured through PSK. The antenna business also built momentum after winning approximately $6 million of new orders, predominantly related to defence, which are expected to support a stronger second-half performance.
Mottech, which provides water control and management technology, increased revenue by 31% and operating profit by 51%. Growth was driven by international demand for smart irrigation and water management systems.
The group has also taken full ownership of Australian subsidiary Mottech Parkland, positioning the business to capture further opportunities in what MTI considers a rapidly expanding market.
MTI’s antenna division continued to strengthen its exposure to defence customers after securing AS9100D certification. The business also reported healthy demand for its ABS® 5G backhaul products and secured a significant new customer during the period.
Meanwhile, MTI Summit expanded its pipeline of defence-related contracts, adding to the group’s visibility for future activity. With a healthy order backlog and continued tender opportunities, management sees positive demand trends across all three divisions for the remainder of the year.
The company’s broader financial profile is supported by rapid trailing 12-month revenue growth, stable margins and exceptionally low leverage. A notable decline in trailing 12-month free cash flow provides some counterbalance to these strengths.
Technical indicators remain mixed, reflecting some near-term share-price weakness despite a longer-term upward trend. Valuation is comparatively supportive, with the shares trading on a reasonable price-to-earnings ratio alongside a solid dividend yield.
