Shares of VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ:VCIG) surged 30% on Monday after the company issued bullish full-year 2025 guidance, projecting a 70% increase in revenue fueled by growth in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, fintech, and GPU cloud services.
The cross-sector technology platform company expects 2025 revenue to reach $47.3 million, up from an estimated $27.8 million in 2024. Gross profit is projected to climb to $37.8 million, reflecting an 80% gross margin and underscoring the scalability of its business model.
VCI Global also anticipates EBITDA of $12.0 million in 2025 — up roughly 45% year-over-year from an expected $8.3 million in 2024. Net income is forecast to rise 20% to $9.1 million, with a net margin of about 19%.
The company outlined several key initiatives to meet these targets, including the commercial rollout of its GPU Lounge & GPU Cloud services to address rising AI compute demand across Southeast Asia. Additional growth drivers include expanding real-world asset tokenization advisory services, scaling cybersecurity and data analytics platforms, and developing advanced fintech solutions tailored to ASEAN markets.
“Our 2025 guidance underscores the strength of our execution and the scalability of our technology platforms,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and CEO of VCI Global. “With solid foundations in AI, cybersecurity, and fintech, we are entering a phase of accelerated growth driven by targeted infrastructure investments that will unlock recurring, high-margin revenue streams.”
The company added that while near-term profitability will be tempered by upfront investments, these moves are expected to deliver long-term operating leverage and boost shareholder value over time.
