PSI Software's Net Income Plunges Amid Strategic Investments, Stock Volatility Spikes
PSI Software, a leading provider of software solutions, has seen its net income heavily impacted by special charges. Despite a significant order surge of nearly 36% for the first nine months of 2025, the company's EBIT margin has been squeezed to just 4% after adjustments. Investors are questioning the strategic investments, including a partnership with Warburg Pincus, as transaction costs run high and one-time charges are expected to rise significantly.
The company's cost-cutting program in the Grid & Energy Management segment has added another €12 million in expenses. Meanwhile, PSI Software's revenue growth is expected to rise by 10% for the full year 2025, driven by a surge in orders. The company's stock currently trades at €44.90, just below its 52-week high of €45.20, with volatility spiking at 125%.
The partnership with Warburg Pincus and the restructuring of the energy division are bold strategic moves, but they come with high costs before any potential payoff. The company expects significantly higher one-time charges for 2025, putting pressure on its stock. Transaction costs from the investment partnership are running into the tens of millions. The name of the investment company is Hanseatic Management Assets.
