Quarterly results
ESEF annual reports carry no quarters: the results are annual (below).
E/P over time
E/P = trailing-12-month diluted EPS / price at quarter end. E/P is the inverse of P/E and stays defined when earnings are negative.
Today's P/E sits at the 50 percentile of its own 4-quarter history (min 10.4, median 20.5, max 25.5; quarters with earnings only).

Memo
TEXAF (TEXF.BR). Latest full fiscal year: 2024; data up to 2024-12-31.
Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 32.3 m EUR in 2024; YoY growth 10.2%; net margin 23.0%; ROE 6.5%; net debt/EBITDA 0.7x.
The estimated value range is 16.73–42.61 EUR per share (median of 3 methods, agreement: medium); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 19.30 EUR, the price of 35.80 EUR leaves a potential of -46.1% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of -85.5% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.
olivLaw score 61/100, methodological classification: unattractive profile (score, margin of safety and method agreement together; not a judgement of the right price). Groups assessed only in part: returns. Not investment advice.
Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.
What supports the thesis
- Net margin: 23.0%

The business
The TEXAF group is the only listed company wholly dedicated to the DRC and operates in three areas: real estate, the CARRIGRÈS sandstone quarry in Kinshasa and digital infrastructure through data centres. According to the 2024 annual report, the group relies on shared services for finance, legal, human resources and security 1. Its structure combines urban projects with agricultural and textile assets linked to cotton cultivation 1.
Segments
Quarry
CARRIGRÈS, founded in 1951, is the oldest quarry in Congo and produces red Inkisi sandstone for roads and construction, with a deposit estimated at 25 million tonnes 1. The quarry has an annual capacity of 600,000 tonnes 1.
Market context
The DRC property market is heterogeneous and little subject to standardised construction rules, but demand for affordable and durable housing is growing in crowded cities 1. The World Bank estimates that a higher broadband penetration could bring additional GDP growth, which would support demand for digital services 1.
Trends
- Extractive-led economic growthmixed
The DRC economy is mainly driven by mining, and medium-term prospects depend on political stability and reforms 1.
- Digitalisation and telecom liberalisationtailwind
The new telecommunications law could improve connectivity and reduce access gaps, supporting demand for data centres 1.
- Climate changeheadwind
Temperatures and extreme weather events could increase, which could affect the group's assets and operations 1.
- ESG standards and green constructiontailwind
The DRC's emissions commitments could drive adoption of green building norms, with benefits for owners and investors 1.
Competitive position
The CARRIGRÈS quarry operates in a competitive environment, largely dominated by the informal sector, where it differentiates itself through quality and digital weighing of deliveries 1. In real estate and digital, regional competition is not detailed in the analysed source 1.
- Informal quarry sector
Informal operators dominate the building materials market in Kinshasa, against which CARRIGRÈS compares itself 1.
- WIOCC
Pan-African digital infrastructure group and TEXAF partner in the DRC data centre 1.
- Cloud and telecom operators
Potential customers and indirect competitors of the data centre, depending on the co-location model 1.
- Other building materials suppliers
Local suppliers of sandstone, sand and gravel for roads and construction 1.
