UWC Bhd delivered a strong earnings performance for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 (9M26), with profit after tax (PAT) rising 133.1% year-on-year to RM56.1 million, underpinned by sustained momentum in the global semiconductor cycle.
Revenue for the period also increased 47.3% to RM408.7 million from RM277.5 million a year earlier, reflecting higher customer orders and improved manufacturing activity across both front-end and back-end semiconductor segments.
The stronger nine-month performance was supported by a particularly robust third quarter, where PAT surged 240.5% to RM26.1 million from RM7.9 million a year ago, while revenue climbed 58.5% to RM151.5 million.
UWC Executive Director and Group CEO Datuk Seri Ng Chai Eng said the results were driven by progressive ramp-up of recently secured projects and stronger demand for system-level testers, which improved order execution and economies of scale.
“The group’s performance reflected strengthening semiconductor industry momentum, particularly amid rising demand linked to artificial intelligence and advanced computing applications,” he said.
He added that ongoing investments in production capacity, cleanroom facilities, automation and talent development were aimed at supporting future growth requirements, while acknowledging persistent geopolitical and trade uncertainties.
He noted that its diversified customer base and operational readiness continue to position the group for sustained long-term growth across the semiconductor value chain.
