Sri Lanka’s top 100 listed companies record 20% revenue growth in 2025/26

Newswire reports that LMD put the combined 2025/26 revenue of Sri Lanka’s 100 leading listed companies roughly one-fifth higher. Media Services, the publisher of LMD, disclosed the top 20 ahead of the 33rd LMD 100 edition.

Newswire reports that Hayleys held the leading position for a third year running, with consolidated revenue above Rs. 585 billion, 19% more than in the preceding financial year. John Keells Holdings rose from fifth to second, with revenue nearing Rs. 529 billion, a 67% increase. LOLC Holdings ranked third, reporting revenue above Rs. 429 billion, up 26%.

Newswire reports that Commercial Bank of Ceylon moved from seventh to fourth, Carson Cumberbatch took fifth and Bukit Darah placed sixth. Hatton National Bank was seventh, Lanka IOC eighth, CT Holdings ninth and Cargills (Ceylon) tenth. The report also names Sampath Bank and Ceylon Cold Stores among companies in the top 20, without giving their exact positions in the supplied material.

Newswire reports that LMD associated the overall revenue rise with stronger results among leading firms during Sri Lanka’s economic recovery. The report cites economic growth close to 5% in 2025 and inflation near 5% in the later part of the 2025/26 financial year as context.

Newswire reports that Media Services cautioned that higher revenue is only one part of the recovery, as profitability differs between companies and local and international risks persist. The complete ranking and profiles of several leading listed companies are scheduled for the forthcoming LMD 100 annual edition.
