Summary

Semtext has been active since 2007 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-65k) and a net result of €18k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 10% of 201 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.6% (low).
