The Information Observer Network Thales plans to release its Q4 and full-year 2025 financial reports before the market opens on February 12, 2026. Investors will focus on the progress of AI strategies and the achievement of financial guidance. Institutions expect Q4 2025 revenue to be CAD 5.408 billion, up 0.49% year-over-year; and earnings per share to be CAD 0.211, down 12.21% YoY. Key points to watch include whether the technology business (including health sector) revenue reaches the 2%-4% growth range, and whether AI business revenue approaches the annual target of $800 million. The company aims to increase AI-related revenue to about $2 billion by 2028, with the operation of the sovereign AI factory being a focus.

Recent Events

Recent hotspots revolve around capital management ahead of the earnings release: the company announced a 4% increase in quarterly dividends to CAD 0.4184, and will gradually cancel the discounted dividend reinvestment plan starting in 2026. Meanwhile, the company is seeking partners for health and agriculture businesses to optimize its capital structure (current leverage ratio is 3.5x, aiming to reduce to 3x by the end of 2027). Regarding AI strategy, Canada’s first sovereign AI factory began operations in September 2025. As a partner in Nvidia’s cloud collaboration, its customer expansion progress has attracted market attention.
