Datatec CEO Jens Montanana.

Datatec’s management have said that trading for the multinational ITC group has remained resilient in spite of supply chain volatility, and its management expect its 2027 financial year will be even stronger than 2026.

The group on Tuesday reported exceptional performance for its 2026 financial year after continued profit margin expansion and a strong profit-growth trajectory in its two key subsidiaries, Westcon and Logicalis International, while Logicalis Latin America achieved good traction in its turnaround.

“We are celebrating one of the strongest years in the Datatec Group’s history, underpinned by excellent execution, financial performance, and operating leverage. Solid profit growth has driven a 55% increase in the total dividend to 24 US cents,” said the CEO Jens Montanana.

Headline earnings per share was up by 56.5% to 39,9 cents a share. The final dividend was raised to 14 US cents from 11,2 US cents.
