Being a serial buyer, Catcha Digital’s earning growth is fed by investments in small but profitable businesses. Just as pressing is the risk of over-diversification, with Catcha Digital spreading into media, software and trade expos at a pace some investors fear could outrun its managerial bandwidth. The 50-year-old Grove is non-independent non-executive chairman of Catcha Digital and Elliott is a non-independent non-executive director. However, the company’s expanded share base kept its earnings per share growth more modest, rising to 1.63 sen in 9MFY2025 from 0.55 sen in FY2023. Now, whether the market buys the narrative of Catcha Digital’s M&A spree is the real test for 2026.
