On Thursday, 4Sight Holdings announced its full-year financial results, showcasing remarkable growth driven by its strategic focus on artificial intelligence (AI). The company reported a 75.7 percent increase in earnings per share (EPS) over two years, with operating profit rising 49.3 percent and net profit after tax up 20.4 percent year-on-year.
This performance highlights 4Sight’s success in leveraging AI to transform its business and deliver value to shareholders.
AI Innovation powers strong financial performance
4Sight’s CEO, Tertius Zitzke, emphasized the role of AI in the company’s growth, stating, “Our sharpened focus on delivering 4Sight Automated Intelligence (4AI), driving Agentic AI in business solutions, enabled real-time decision-making integrated with predefined business rules and is already delivering tangible benefits in procurement, operations, and customer engagement.”
The company invested R20 million into AI initiatives for 2025 and 2026, underlining AI as a cornerstone of its strategy. This investment supports the development of AI-powered solutions that address real-world business challenges, enhancing efficiency and competitiveness.
The Operational Technologies cluster contributed significantly to profits, growing 24.5 percent over two years, while the Channel Partner cluster generated nearly R390 million in revenue, expanding 27.6 percent over the same period. Partnerships with Microsoft and Sage have been instrumental in expanding 4Sight’s market reach across Africa and the Middle East.
Strategic expansion and market positioning
4Sight also expands internationally, with its partner network growing 12.5 percent, now covering 55 countries. Zitzke noted, “We have supported continent-wide growth while containing overhead costs that typically accompany cross-border expansion.”
The acquisition of XFour Group, a human resource and payroll technology provider, adds valuable intellectual property and talent to 4Sight’s portfolio, positioning the company for further growth.
Despite trading at a price-to-earnings ratio slightly below the IT sector average, 4Sight’s consistent EPS growth and AI-driven innovation make it an attractive investment in the digital transformation space. Analysts highlight its strong earnings momentum and strategic moves, including its transition to the JSE main board, as financial strength and market confidence indicators.
4Sight’s commitment to AI and international expansion signals its ambition to lead in digital transformation, leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet evolving customer needs and drive sustained growth.
