Cable manufacturer Cafca posted a 147% increase in profit before tax for the nine months ended June 30, 2026, driven by improved operating leverage and cost containment measures that cushioned the company against global supply chain shocks.

The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed group said year-to-date revenue increased by 31% compared to the same period in the prior year.

Top-line growth was supported by stronger overall sales volumes and upward price adjustments implemented to offset rising input costs, which surged 36% year-to-date due to raw material cost pressures.

“Sales volumes for the year to date improved by 20% compared to the previous year. Local volumes were up 21% whilst exports were up 8% due to better conversion of the opportunity presented by the stable trading environment,” Cafca said in a trading update.

The group said third quarter volumes were up by 32% compared to the same period prior year, reflecting improving trading conditions despite escalating costs of raw materials emanating from the supply chain shockwaves.

Looking ahead, Cafca maintained a positive outlook for the remainder of its financial year, citing sustained domestic monetary stability, export expansion opportunities, and ongoing investments across domestic productive sectors.
