EKF Diagnostics Holdings plc (LSE:EKF) posted record analyzer sales and improved earnings for the first half of 2025. Gross margins rose to 50.2%, and pre-tax profit increased by 16.1%. The company remains on track to meet full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth targets, driven by strong performances in its Hematology and β-HB product lines.
Strategic initiatives are showing results, with expanded production capacity and a focus on high-margin products supporting profitability. EKF also completed a share buyback and canceled a loan facility, reflecting strong cash generation and a solid financial position.
EKF Diagnostics maintains a strong foundation, characterized by robust profit margins and low leverage. Technical indicators show a positive trend, though momentum remains moderate. Valuation appears fair based on the P/E ratio, although the absence of a dividend yield may limit appeal for income-focused investors.
