Why Is CETX Stock Surging Over 25% Today? Cemtrex Returns to Profitability

Cemtrex, Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX) shares are experiencing a dramatic surge in premarket trading, jumping 28.44% to $2.71 as of 7:31 AM EST on December 30, 2025, following the company’s announcement of fiscal year 2025 financial results. The diversified technology company, which operates in security and industrial markets, reported a significant operational turnaround after returning to operating profitability for the full fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. This marks a major inflection point for the company after years of restructuring and strategic repositioning.

Cemtrex Posts $76.5M in Revenue and Returns to Operating Profit

Cemtrex achieved revenue of $76.5 million for fiscal year 2025, representing a 14% increase from $66.9 million in fiscal 2024. More impressively, the company generated operating income of $500,000, a remarkable improvement of $5.8 million compared to the operating loss of $5.3 million in the prior year.

This return to operating profitability represents the culmination of a three-year transformation that saw revenue grow from approximately $45 million in fiscal 2022 to over $76 million in fiscal 2025.

Both operating segments contributed to the strong performance. The Security segment generated $38.4 million in revenue, a 20% increase from $31 million in fiscal 2024, while the Industrial Services segment grew 9% to $38 million from $34.8 million.

Gross profit reached $32.3 million, or 42% of revenues, compared to $27.5 million, or 41% of revenues, in fiscal 2024. The company demonstrated increasing operating leverage, with gross profit growth materially outpacing operating expense growth.

Strategic Initiatives and Future Growth Outlook

CEO and Chairman Saagar Govil emphasized that fiscal 2025 marked a major operating inflection for Cemtrex, noting that the results were achieved while actively investing in capital markets initiatives to restore liquidity and flexibility.

Post fiscal year-end, the company completed balance sheet actions that reduced outstanding debt by approximately $7.8 million and improved liquidity by approximately $9 million, positioning the company for its next phase of growth.

Cemtrex currently has two acquisitions in formal process, one under contract and another under letter of intent, which management expects to close in the near term. The company plans to pursue additional acquisitions in 2026, focused on businesses that enhance scale, margins, and operating leverage.

With the stock trading at a market capitalization of just $14.58 million despite generating over $76 million in annual revenue, investors appear to be recognizing the potential value in the company’s turnaround story and growth prospects.
