Dialog Group Bhd delivered a sharp earnings uplift for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 (9M26), with profit after tax (PAT) more than doubling year-on-year (YoY), underscoring sustained momentum across its integrated oil and gas operations.
For the cumulative period, Dialog recorded PAT of RM457.2 million, marking a more-than-100% jump from RM157.9 million recorded in the same period last year, while revenue rose 11.5% to RM2.11 billion from RM1.89 billion previously, supported by stronger contributions across its core businesses.
The strong 9M26 performance was underpinned by a resilient third-quarter showing, where PAT rose 18.8% YoY to RM160.2 million on revenue of RM696.9 million, an increase of 20.4%.
The group said its Malaysia operations remained the key driver, with the downstream segment benefiting from ongoing engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning projects, while the midstream business continued to deliver stable earnings backed by healthy tank storage occupancy.
Upstream operations benefitted from higher realised oil prices, although overall contributions were tempered by reduced production due to maintenance activities. International operations recorded softer contributions amid lower business activity, while joint ventures and associates continued to provide stable recurring income.
Dialog said the results highlight the resilience of its diversified integrated model, which helps cushion the impact of volatile oil prices and currency movements across its global operations.
The board declared an interim dividend of 1.7 sen per share, up from 1.3 sen previously, with entitlement based on the record of depositors as at June 11, 2026, and payment scheduled for June 25, 2026.
