TSX:TCS Earnings & Revenue History as at Dec 2025
TSX:TCS Earnings & Revenue History as at Dec 2025

Profit Margin Climbs to 2.5%

  • On a trailing twelve month basis, Tecsys generated CA$4.4 million of net income on CA$180.1 million of revenue, equating to a 2.5% net profit margin compared with 0.9% a year earlier.
  • What stands out for a bullish view is that net income has risen from CA$1.5 million to CA$4.4 million over the trailing periods while the margin improved to 2.5%, which supports the idea of higher quality earnings even though revenue growth is more modest.
    • Supporters can point to the 199.7% year over year earnings increase alongside this margin move as evidence that the business is converting more of its revenue into profit than in the recent past.
    • At the same time, the five year annualized earnings decline of 14.8% reminds investors that this margin profile is still relatively new compared with the longer history.

Revenue Growth Running Near 8%

  • Revenue on a trailing twelve month basis has risen from CA$171.2 million to CA$180.1 million, and is forecast to grow about 8% per year, ahead of the Canadian market expectation of roughly 4.6% per year.
  • From a bullish angle, the combination of mid single digit to high single digit revenue expansion and much stronger trailing twelve month earnings growth heavily supports the idea that Tecsys is executing well in its supply chain and healthcare focused markets.
    • Investors who favor the bullish story can note that quarterly revenue has stepped from CA$42.4 million in Q2 2025 to about CA$46.0 million now while earnings over the same trailing period climbed 199.7%.
    • That mix of faster than market revenue growth and improving profitability gives bulls specific figures to track as they judge whether the recent performance can be sustained.
Bulls watching revenue outpace the broader market while earnings rebound sharply may see this as an inflection point worth diving into more deeply. 📊 Read the full Tecsys Consensus Narrative.

Premium P/E but DCF Upside

  • Tecsys trades on a trailing P/E of 110.9x compared with a peer average of 58.3x and a Canadian Software industry average of 49.1x, yet the CA$33.27 share price sits below both an analyst target of CA$46.25 and a DCF fair value of about CA$69.63.
  • For a more cautious, valuation focused take, critics highlight that the five year annualized earnings decline of 14.8% sits uncomfortably next to the 110.9x P/E, even though the stock is shown as trading materially below both the DCF fair value and the analyst target.
    • Investors weighing the bearish side can reasonably question whether a business whose earnings fell on average 14.8% per year over five years should carry a multiple more than double its software peers.
    • On the other hand, the roughly 39% gap to the CA$46.25 analyst target and the larger gap to the CA$69.63 DCF fair value give number driven investors a clear benchmark for potential upside if recent earnings and margin gains persist.
