DPS Resources Bhd started its new financial year ended June 30, 2026 (FY27), on a strong footing, with first-quarter net profit rising 44.4% year-on-year to RM2.25 million from RM1.56 million despite a softer top line.
Revenue for the quarter stood at RM11.58 million compared to RM12.79 million a year earlier, mainly due to lower contributions from the property development, construction and building rental services segment.
The decline was partly offset by a sharp improvement in the furniture segment, where revenue surged to RM8.07 million from RM0.37 million. The segment also returned to profitability, posting RM2.26 million compared to a RM0.54 million loss previously.
Gross profit improved to RM4 million from RM3.72 million, supported by tighter cost controls and improved operational efficiency.
Compared to the preceding quarter, DPS also returned to profitability, while gross profit rose from RM2.23 million.
Group chairman and founder Tan Sri Dr Sow Chin Chuan said the stronger earnings reflected the group’s continued focus on operational efficiency and cost management.
Looking ahead, DPS is advancing plans for artificial intelligence-driven data centres and high-tech infrastructure in Melaka, including projects in Mukim Lendu and Bukit Rambai, while continuing to develop its property portfolio.
The group remains cautiously optimistic about its prospects as it works to diversify revenue streams, strengthen earnings visibility and progress its strategic infrastructure initiatives.
