what happened
According to TradingView, Vtech's revenue rose 5.6% in the first half of FY27. Europe and Asia Pacific were the main drivers of the growth.
Higher costs, however, pulled gross margin down to 30.1% and reduced profit attributable to shareholders by 12.9%. The company still expects revenue growth for FY27 to stay on track, while margin pressure is expected to persist.
why it matters
The report highlights a gap between sales growth and profitability, as rising costs eat into the bottom line.

The story mainly concerns Vtech's shares and interest in electronics manufacturers.
