  • 📉 Sales revenue decreased from Rs 1,348.496 million in 2024 to Rs 936.616 million in 2025.
  • 😔 Net loss after tax widened to Rs 407.047 million in 2025 from Rs 350.403 million in 2024.

Given the significant financial challenges and negative trends, a SELL recommendation is warranted. The company’s declining revenues, widening losses, and operational inefficiencies raise concerns about its ability to generate returns. Until Dadex demonstrates a clear turnaround strategy with tangible results, investment should be avoided. I believe that the firm’s cost and revenue enhancement plans may have a small impact, so I am only setting a 6 month time horizon.

HOLD. While MDTL has shown considerable improvement in revenue and reduced its net loss, the company is still loss-making and carries significant accumulated losses.

Until the merger details are clear and the company demonstrates sustained profitability, a HOLD recommendation is appropriate. A price target cannot be reliably established due to the current financial performance and speculative nature of the potential merger.
