Shares in Catapult Sports Ltd (ASX:CAT) closed at $3.16 on 20 October 2026, rose 1.61% on the day from a previous close of about $3.1099.

Over the past 12 months the stock lost approximately 54.79%. Working back from the closing price, a 12-month change of approximately -54.79% implies a share price of about $6.99 a year earlier. The annual decline is much larger than the move in a single session, which is a reminder of how far a stock can travel over a year.

In dollar terms, the 12-month move amounts to about $3.83 per share, from roughly $6.99 to $3.16, while the move during the 20 October session was about 5.0 cents per share. The two figures measure different time frames and are reported here on their own terms.

About Catapult Sports

Catapult Sports Ltd describes itself as the global leader in sports technology solutions for professional teams. Its products include wearable athlete tracking, video and analytics tools. In October 2025 it acquired IMPECT, a football data company whose proprietary Packing metric measures player impact.

Latest development

The share price figures above are not linked here to the product announcement. On 23 July 2026 Catapult announced the launch of IMPECT Video Scouting, a video scouting product for professional football clubs powered by IMPECT’s Packing data and contextual football intelligence.

The platform lets scouts define specific performance criteria and then surfaces matching footage in which a candidate demonstrates those qualities, which the company says accelerates scouting decisions. It builds on the strategic rationale of the October 2025 IMPECT Acquisition by adding video to the data. Packing metrics have been validated across more than 180,000 football matches, and users can watch full matches, isolate individual player scenes or create playlists across more than 150 men’s and women’s football competitions.

The announcement did not give revenue, pricing or customer numbers for the product, so its financial contribution is not quantified in the release.

Sector context

Sports technology companies sell analytics and performance tools to professional teams, and football recruitment is an area where clubs have increased spending on data. Video-based tools are increasingly combined with statistical models.

Subscription Revenue from clubs tends to be recurring but depends on team budgets and competition schedules.

Risks

The announcement contained no financial detail, so the effect on Catapult’s revenue and profit cannot be assessed from it. New products take time to win customers and may require further investment.

Integrating an acquired Business such as IMPECT carries execution risk, and the company’s share price has fallen approximately 54.79% over the year.

Share price movements add a separate layer of uncertainty. The stock’s one-day move of +1.61% on 20 October 2026 and its 12-month change of approximately -54.79% show how far the share price can move, and past movements do not indicate future direction.

Catalysts to watch

Items to watch include customer uptake of IMPECT Video Scouting, Catapult’s next financial results, integration of IMPECT and any disclosure about Recurring Revenue and subscriber numbers.
