YTL Power International Bhd has declared a second interim dividend of four sen per share for FY26 despite profit after tax (PAT) falling 34.1% to RM1.76 billion from RM2.67 billion a year earlier.
For the financial year ended June 30, 2026, group revenue edged up 1% to RM22.02 billion from RM21.8 billion, even as PAT declined by about RM911.4 million.
The earnings decline was sharper in the fourth quarter, with PAT dropping 46.4% to RM471.3 million from RM879.9 million in the corresponding quarter last year.
Quarterly revenue, however, rose 14% to RM6.33 billion from RM5.55 billion, an increase of RM776.6 million.
Despite the weaker profitability, YTL Power’s board declared a second interim dividend of four sen per ordinary share for FY26.
The entitlement date is Oct 2, 2026, with payment scheduled for Oct 23, 2026.
Looking ahead, YTL Power said it expects its business segments to remain resilient due to the essential nature of its operations, while continuing to monitor risks and their potential impact across the group.
