About the company Svetofor Group
Security pageSvetofor Group is a driver training company: it develops training programmes, equipment for driving schools and distance learning platforms. Its ordinary and preferred shares trade under the tickers SVET and SVETP.
What the company does
Driver training is a market tightly defined by regulation: the curricula, the hours and the examination procedure are set by regulation, and no driving school can shorten the course at its own discretion. Demand is therefore stable and predictable, and schools compete on quality and convenience rather than on the curriculum.
The company makes its money not from the training itself but from the infrastructure behind it: it sells driving schools equipment, simulators and access to educational platforms. A supplier of this kind gets paid regardless of how many students a particular school has enrolled.
The distance format is the growth area: the theory part can be studied online, which lowers the cost of training for the school and makes it more accessible for the student.

Business review
Strengths and weaknesses describe the business itself. Opportunities and threats describe what may happen around it.
Strengths
- Demand is set by regulation: training is compulsory, and the curriculum is approved by regulation.
- The supplier gets paid by all schools at once, not by the enrolment of a single one.
- The distance format makes training cheaper and more accessible.
- Tighter requirements for driver training expand the equipment market.
Weaknesses
- A change in regulatory requirements can change the product entirely.
- The driving school market is fragmented, and each school is a small buyer.
- The company's small size limits investment in development.
- A decline in the number of people seeking a driving licence shrinks the market.
Opportunities
- Substitution of imported lighting products broadens demand.
- Programmes to replace existing lighting with LED lighting are funded from public budgets.
- Growth in construction increases consumption of light fittings.
- Energy efficiency requirements lift demand for modern lamps.
Threats
- Chinese lighting products compete on price in the mass-market segment.
- Components and LEDs are purchased abroad.
- A downturn in construction cuts consumption immediately.
- Large manufacturers compete on volume in the same tenders.
Frequently asked questions
What does Svetofor Group do?
The company develops programmes and platforms for distance learning for drivers, supplies driving schools with simulators and training equipment, and provides teaching materials.
Why is demand in this industry stable?
Because training at a driving school is compulsory by law, and its curriculum and number of hours are approved by regulation. It is not possible to skip the course or shorten it at one's own discretion.
Why does the company sell infrastructure rather than teach itself?
The supplier gets paid by all schools at once, regardless of how many students each has enrolled. Training is the business of an individual school with its local enrolment; supplying platforms and equipment is a business across the whole market.
Issuer profile
What the company does
The company is classified under the «Retail & consumer» sector, using the taxonomy we apply when comparing securities with one another.
The same sector holds 26 issuers on the platform, and their figures are computed by one method — so this company's revenue, profit and leverage can be compared with them directly.
The company is registered in Russia and identified in regulatory disclosure by tax number 7814693830. That number locates its statements in state registries regardless of how its name is spelled — and the spelling differs even between official documents.
Listed securities
The issuer has 2 securities listed: 2 share classes. All are shown on this page, including those trading in different modes and different currencies.
Across Moscow Exchange quotation list levels the securities split as follows: 2 at level 3. The level reflects how strict the disclosure, turnover and track-record requirements the issue meets are — not how attractive the investment is.
Dividend history
Between 2021 and 2025 the issuer made 8 payouts whose record date has already passed. A board recommendation or a forecast does not enter this history, because no money has been paid on them yet.
The most recent payout was 0.10 ₽ per SVET security (2025) with a record date of 8 July 2025. That is the amount before tax: the broker withholds it on crediting, so less arrives in the account.
Payouts were made on several of the issuer's securities — 2 securities of them. Ordinary and preferred shares may carry different dividends, and they cannot be treated as one figure.
Financial statements
The most recent annual report we hold is for 2025 under RAS. The standard is named for a reason: IFRS and RAS compute the same quantities by different rules, disagree by design and are never averaged.
Revenue for 2025 was 364.06M ₽.
That is 46.2 % less than in 2024, when revenue was 677.09M ₽. The comparison stays within one reporting standard — otherwise the decline could turn out to be a change of accounting rules and nothing more.
Net income for 2025 was 7.10M ₽.
Of every unit of revenue, 1.9 % remained as net income. This is the ratio of two figures already named above rather than a separate line from the report: comparing it across companies is meaningful only within one sector and one reporting standard.
Equity stands at 519.47M ₽ against total assets of 725.81M ₽. The difference between the two is the company's liabilities, and the larger it is relative to equity, the more the business depends on borrowed money.
This section is assembled from our own data on the company's securities, dividends and financial statements. It is a description, not a recommendation.
