By Romel S. Gurky

IDX-listed infrastructure investment company PT Chandra Daya Investasi Tbk (IDX: CDIA) reported a significant jump in profitability for the year ended December 31, 2025, driven by strong revenue growth and substantial gains from financial assets and other income streams.

The company recorded revenue of US$148.0 million in 2025, marking a robust increase of approximately 44.7% from US$102.3 million in 2024.

Despite higher operating costs, CDIA’s gross profit rose more than threefold to US$35.4 million, compared with US$10.5 million in the previous year, reflecting improved operational scale and margin expansion.

The company’s net profit surged to US$127.8 million, nearly quadrupling from US$33.5 million in 2024, supported by a combination of recurring income and non-operational gains.

A key driver of earnings was other gains totaling US$76.3 million, alongside income from financial assets of US$22.3 million and share of profit from associates of US$12.4 million, underscoring CDIA’s investment-driven business model.

However, the company faced rising financial pressures, with finance costs increasing to US$28.9 million, up from US$19.7 million a year earlier, reflecting higher borrowings and expansion activities.

CDIA’s total assets grew substantially to US$1.74 billion as of end-2025, compared with US$1.08 billion in 2024, driven by increases in cash holdings, fixed assets, and financial investments.
