CAB Cakaran Corporation Bhd delivered a sharp rebound in its latest quarter, posting a 105.13% surge in net profit to RM20 million for the fourth quarter ended Sept 30, 2025 (4Q25), up from RM9.75 million a year earlier.
It is also the group’s eighth consecutive profitable quarter without government subsidies and this underscores the group’s operational efficiency and resilience across its integrated poultry operations.
As such, the Board has proposed a final dividend of one sen per share for FY25, with key dates to be announced later.
CAB’s poultry division was the star performer, buoyed by a 10% drop in feed costs and higher dividend income from a subsidiary even though the quarterly revenue slipped 3.75% to RM569.73 million on lower feed trading volume and reduced broiler sales.
For the full financial year, CAB’s net profit rose 20.11% to RM90.65 million, while revenue stayed largely flat at RM2.31 billion. The group’s cash reserves strengthened to RM218.84 million from RM186.78 million a year ago.
Group Managing Director Christopher Chuah Hoon Phong said the results reinforce CAB’s ability to thrive independently of subsidies.
He added CAB is poised for further growth with the upcoming consolidation of Cargill Feed, following shareholder approval on Nov 5. The acquisition, currently operating at 60% capacity, is expected to be earnings accretive, with plans to scale output to full capacity over the next two years.
Chuah also highlighted the long-awaited rollout of CAB’s expansion into Indonesia with its partner, The Salim Group, set to commence operations by the second quarter of 2026.
“We foresee FY26 to be a growth year as we recognise contributions from our new venture with Cargill,” he said. “Despite the bright outlook, we will continue to ensure our businesses are run efficiently and deliver good profit.”
