Northeast Group Bhd saw its profit after tax (PAT) surge 118.5% to RM29.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 (9M26), as stronger demand from the photonics, semiconductor and electrical and electronics (E&E) industries drove broad-based earnings growth.
Revenue for 9M26 jumped 41.8% to RM118.1 million from RM83.3 million a year earlier, while gross profit climbed 61% to RM41.8 million.
For the third quarter, the precision engineering components manufacturer recorded revenue of RM42.9 million, up 35.3% from RM31.7 million in the corresponding quarter. Gross profit rose 35% to RM14.5 million, while PAT increased 38.8% to RM9.9 million.
Northeast attributed the stronger performance to higher demand and steady deliveries to its global customers across key industries, led by photonics, semiconductor and E&E.
Managing Director Ng Chay Chin said demand fundamentals across the group’s core markets remained resilient, with customers increasingly requiring more sophisticated precision engineering solutions.
He said Northeast’s high-mix, low-volume manufacturing model allows the group to respond with the flexibility, quality and technical capabilities required by these high-growth industries.
Looking ahead, Northeast is expanding its production capabilities through a new factory and warehouse, alongside ongoing renovation works at another warehouse, as it positions itself to capture further growth opportunities in the global precision engineering industry.
