Sign InReflecting a successful pivot toward AIoT and software services, Powerfleet announced robust financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026. The company reported revenue of $114.5 million for the quarter, marking an 11% increase year-over-year. Operating performance saw a significant turnaround as the company generated $11.0 million in operating income, recovering from a prior-year loss, bolstered by a 42% surge in Adjusted EBITDA to $26.4 million.
This profitability milestone coincides with major international expansion, highlighted by a new five-year agreement with the South African National Treasury valued at $100 million to $120 million. Per market data, this contract strengthens long-term revenue visibility as Powerfleet competes in a high-growth sector alongside peers like Samsara, which has also reported strong subscription momentum. Furthermore, South Africa's GDP growth of 1.9% year-over-year (per official June 9 data) suggests a stabilizing macroeconomic backdrop for the execution of this large-scale government project.
In the markets, AIOT shares stood at $4.22 (close June 12, 2026) after trading between a high of $4.26 and a low of $4.01. Investors should watch for margin sustainability as the South African contract scales, alongside upcoming U.S. economic catalysts. Recent data showed the U.S. annual inflation rate at 4.2% as of June 10, 2026, a key metric for assessing the company's future operating cost environment.
