FY2025 results recap: what SEEK said about investments, yield, and operating leverage

Although SEEK has not released a new set of full financial results in December 2025, the most recent full-year reporting and outlook remains a key anchor for investors.

In its FY2025 full-year results announcement (19 August 2025) , SEEK reported (continuing operations) that:

Sales revenue increased 1% to A$1,097m and net revenue increased 1% to A$1,090m . ^[12]
Total expenditure declined 2% to A$761m . ^[13]
EBITDA was A$459m (down 2%). ^[14]
Adjusted Profit was A$155m (down 13%), while Reported Profit was A$238m . ^[15]
The full-year dividend increased 31% to 46 cents per share , fully franked. ^[16]

Operationally, the same announcement emphasized SEEK’s strategy following its platform “unification” work—aiming to grow placement share , grow yield , and deliver operating leverage —with yield driven by upgraded tiers and product innovation. ^[17]

The release also notes key strategic and portfolio items, including the completion of SEEK’s 100% acquisition of Sidekicker in May 2025 (acquiring the fund’s stake plus remaining minorities) and the wind-down/impairment of initiatives such as Jobstreet Express following broader “freemium” implementation. ^[18]

SEEK’s official forecast: FY2026 guidance (company-provided)

For investors focused on “forecast” in the strictest sense, SEEK’s most important published forward-looking numbers are its FY2026 guidance ranges (excluding the fund and significant items), provided in the FY2025 results announcement:

Net revenue: ~ A$1.15bn to A$1.25bn ^[19]
Total expenditure:A$810m to A$840m ^[20]
- Opex: ~ A$655m to A$685m ^[21]
- Capex: ~ A$145m to A$165m ^[22]
EBITDA: ~ A$510m to A$550m ^[23]
Adjusted Profit: ~ A$190m to A$220m ^[24]

Management also outlined assumptions around labor market stabilization across APAC, with a planning assumption for flat-to-low employment growth through FY2026 , expectation that Australian unemployment may rise slightly , and that interest-rate easing could gradually support improvements—while noting ongoing uncertainty in parts of Asia. ^[25]

The labor market backdrop: why macro data matters for SEK stock

SEEK is closely tied to hiring demand, and the latest Australian labor market signals have been mixed-to-softer in late 2025.

Australia’s November jobs surprise: employment fell, unemployment steady

Reuters reported that Australia’s employment fell by 23,100 in November 2025 , contrary to expectations for a gain, while the unemployment rate held at 4.3% and the participation rate slipped. The report also noted full-time employment fell sharply and annual job growth slowed. ^[26]

Official online job ads data: down year-on-year

Jobs and Skills Australia’s Vacancy Report (covering November 2025 ) stated that online job advertisements decreased 1.3% in the month to 204,500 , and were down 7.2% over the year to November 2025 . ^[27]

SEEK’s own market data: job ads broadly stable, but competition for roles rising

SEEK’s Australian Employment Report – September 2025 said job ads rose 0.8% month-on-month and were down 1.1% year-on-year , while applications per job ad rose 0.6% , reaching a new peak—signalling persistent candidate competition even as demand steadied. ^[28]

SEEK’s October 2025 report then showed job ad volumes declined 0.4% in October and were down 2.2% year-on-year , while applications per job ad rose 1.3% month-on-month (applications recorded with a one-month lag, as SEEK notes). ^[29]

SEEK also notes it has made methodological changes in 2025, including shifting to trend estimates (rather than seasonally adjusted) from August 2025, and incorporating company listings in the index from November 2025. ^[30]

For SEK investors, the takeaway is straightforward: even a “stable” hiring market can become more competitive , potentially affecting employer pricing decisions and the value proposition of SEEK’s higher-tier products.

Analyst forecasts for Seek Limited: price targets and ratings as of 13.12.2025

Investing.com consensus: “Buy” with an average target of A$30.34

Investing.com’s consensus page states that, based on 15 analysts , SEEK’s average 12‑month price target is 30.34 , with a high estimate of 33.5 and a low estimate of 22.6 . It also reports a “Buy” consensus rating, with 13 buy , 2 hold , and 0 sell recommendations. ^[31]

Using SEK’s A$22.88 reference price, an A$30.34 target implies ~33% potential upside (purely arithmetical and not a guarantee of performance). ^[32]

Financial Times consensus: median target A$31.00

Financial Times market data reports that 13 analysts have a median 12-month price target of A$31.00 , with a high estimate of A$33.50 and a low estimate of A$26.00 , and notes the median implies a 35.49% increase from the last price of A$22.88 . ^[33]

How to read these forecasts: consensus targets are not “predictions” in the scientific sense—they are best viewed as a rolling summary of analyst models, assumptions, and risk appetite. For SEEK, the wide spread between low and high targets typically reflects uncertainty around job ad volumes, yield durability, and operating leverage through the cycle.

One notable “analysis” item circulating this week: returns on capital discussion

A recent Simply Wall St commentary highlights SEEK’s return on capital employed (ROCE) and compares it to an industry average, characterizing SEEK’s ROCE as below the cited industry benchmark. ^[34]

This type of analysis tends to resonate with long-term investors because it frames SEEK not only as a cyclical hiring proxy, but as a capital efficiency story—particularly important as SEEK pursues product innovation, platform scale, and disciplined investment. ^[35]

What to watch next for SEEK Limited stock

Here are the main near-term catalysts and risk checks for SEK investors as of 13.12.2025, based on the latest filings, company guidance, and labor data:

Evidence of volume recovery (or further weakening)
Weekly/monthly job ad signals (from SEEK’s reports and official vacancy data) can change sentiment quickly if hiring demand turns decisively up or down. ^[36]
Yield resilience vs. customer pushback
SEEK’s FY2025 reporting repeatedly points to yield gains via upgraded tiers and product depth. The market will keep testing how sustainable that pricing power is if employers become more cost-conscious. ^[37]
Operating leverage delivery vs. reinvestment needs
SEEK’s FY2026 guidance implies a step up in EBITDA versus FY2025, but execution matters—especially if macro conditions worsen and the company chooses to reinvest more aggressively. ^[38]
Governance and incentives signals
The board transition timetable (to March 2026) and the December equity plan disclosures are routine for large listed companies, but they still matter for how investors interpret alignment and strategic continuity. ^[39]

Bottom line

As of 13 December 2025 , SEEK Limited stock sits near A$22.88 after a year that—based on the 52-week range—saw the share price trade between A$18.88 and A$29.84 . ^[40]

The latest hard “forecast” investors can anchor to is management’s FY2026 guidance (net revenue A$1.15–1.25bn , EBITDA A$510–550m , adjusted profit A$190–220m ). ^[41]

Meanwhile, consensus analyst targets from major aggregators remain materially above the current share price (around A$30–31 medians/averages depending on provider), but those targets implicitly assume SEEK can keep executing on yield and leverage even as hiring data softens. ^[42]
