Bermaz Auto Bhd reported a net profit of RM46.62 million for the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2026, more than double the RM21.20 million recorded a year earlier, driven by stronger domestic sales of Mazda vehicles, especially the Mazda3 model [1, 2]. Revenue for the quarter rose 3% to RM544.67 million from RM528.65 million in the same period last year [1, 2].
The company declared a dividend of 3.5 sen per share for the quarter, comprising a 1.75 sen interim dividend and a 1.75 sen special dividend, payable on August 5, 2026 [1]. This brings the total dividend for the full financial year 2026 to 7.25 sen per share.
For the full financial year ended April 30, 2026, Bermaz Auto’s net profit fell 29.3% to RM104.73 million from RM153.6 million in 2025. Revenue for the year declined 13.2% to RM2.28 billion from RM2.62 billion the previous year [1, 2]. The full-year profit decline was mainly due to a lower profit contribution from domestic Mazda operations and share of losses from associates. These were partly offset by a profit contribution from the company’s domestic Xpeng operations [1].
Bermaz Auto distributes and retails Mazda, Kia, and Peugeot vehicles and provides after-sales services. Its distributorship for Kia ended in November 2025 [1].
Bermaz Auto shares surged over 10% on June 12, 2026, hitting RM1.00 per share—the highest since May 2025—on unusually high trading volume of around 5 million shares, after the company’s earnings beat market expectations [3, 4]. Market capitalization reached RM1.2 billion.
The company expects slower growth in the automotive sector due to inflation, weaker global economic growth, and geopolitical uncertainties, especially in the Middle East, which are affecting supply chains [1, 2]. It also noted that the continued influx of Chinese car brands in Malaysia has impacted sales of other vehicle brands [1, 2].
The next key date for shareholders is August 5, 2026, when Bermaz Auto will pay the declared dividend of 3.5 sen per share for 4QFY2026 [1].
