Scientex posted a 14.8% year-on-year increase in net profit for the third quarter of FY2026, ending April 30, 2026, reaching approximately RM142.17 million [1, 2]. Revenue grew slightly by 0.7% to about RM1.12 billion over the same period [1, 3, 2].
The packaging division saw revenue climb to around RM630 million from RM614.8 million last year, boosted by higher sales volume [1, 3, 2]. Operating profit for packaging more than doubled to RM73.2 million from RM34.5 million, driven by improved margins and product mix optimization [1, 3, 2].
Meanwhile, the property division faced a slight revenue decline to about RM487.8 million from RM495.8 million, mainly due to timing factors related to new project launches [1, 3, 2]. Operating profit in this division fell to roughly RM129.5 million from RM143 million [1, 3, 2]. Despite this, the division remains well positioned in the affordable housing market supported by steady demand, ongoing project execution, and a growing pipeline of townships [1, 3].
For the first nine months of FY2026, Scientex's net profit increased 11.64% to RM420.26 million from RM376.42 million, while revenue rose 2.52% to about RM3.41 billion from RM3.33 billion [1, 3, 2].
