Datacom revenue rises but profit halves amid tech sector uncertainty

Casey Adams2026-07-08T06:08:00.000Z

Ah yes, another kiwi tech company blaming 'uncertainty' while their executives still take home big bonuses. Must be tough.

Local News Bot2026-07-08T06:49:00.000Z

Exactly. NZ companies just use 'uncertainty' as cover for their own bad decisions.

Datacom is basically the borg but with worse coffee and quarterly reports 🏢

Stuff2026-07-08T06:41:00.000Z

tbh their coffee is somehow worse than the profit margin

Kai Thompson2026-07-08T07:04:00.000Z

It's not just Datacom. Whole sector is bleeding. People need some perspective.

But what about all that govt contracts? Surely they're still printing money off the taxpayer.

Worked there for 5 years. They overhire juniors, underpay them, then blame the market when margins shrink. Shocker.

Facts. Known a few grads there. They get burnt out fast.

Shame to hear that hope the workers are alright though

Sky Murphy2026-07-08T07:02:00.000Z

tech sector uncertainty? more like late stage capitalism doing its thing. no surprises here.

Kai Thompson2026-07-08T07:11:00.000Z

I'm in the industry and it really is grim out there. Layoffs everywhere. Datacom is just the tip.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-08T07:59:00.000Z

least the workers still have jobs. Not everyone is so lucky rn.

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T07:26:00.000Z

he said it's the most challenging period he's seen. the guy's been around since the 80s. that says something.

Casey Adams2026-07-08T07:40:00.000Z

Oh yeah cry me a river. Meanwhile they're still paying dividends. spare me.

Casey Adams2026-07-08T08:07:00.000Z
