Corporate Earnings Update | 2025
The past year was challenging for businesses amid high interest rates, weak consumer demand, and political pressures. Despite a 12.7% rise in finance costs, companies showed resilience with revenue growth of 4.8% and net profit growth of 1.6%.
However, Q4 2025 saw increased uncertainty, with revenue declining 2% QoQ and net profit falling 10%. Looking ahead, the ongoing U.S.–Iran conflict is expected to further strain business performance due to higher energy costs, supply chain disruptions, and global economic uncertainty.
