Scientex Berhad recorded a 29.5% increase in net profit to RM199.9 million for the fourth quarter ended 31 July 2026 (4Q26) from RM154.3 million in the previous corresponding quarter, supported by improved contributions from both its Packaging and Property Divisions.’
Group revenue grew 17.7% to RM1.40 billion in 4Q26 from RM1.19 billion a year ago, underpinned by double-digit revenue growth across both divisions.
Within the packaging division, revenue expanded 18.4% to RM725.3 million in 4Q26, compared to RM612.5 million previously, supported by steady sales volume and higher selling prices. The division’s operating profit more than doubled to RM87.5 million versus RM42.2 million in the same quarter last year, contributed by both the industrial and consumer product segments, as
well as better margins arising from prevailing market conditions and an optimised product mix.
Similarly, the property division saw its revenue rise 17.0% to RM678.9 million in 4Q26 from RM580.1 million, attributed to steady progressive revenue recognition from ongoing projects and sales from new launches. The division also registered stronger unit sales, supported by encouraging take-up rates from its new property launches in the Central and Melaka Regions. In tandem with the higher revenue, operating profit climbed 14.1% to RM194.3 million, up from RM170.2 million.
For the financial year ended 31 July 2026 (FY2026), the Group registered a 6.5% increase in revenue to RM4.81 billion, compared to RM4.52 billion previously. Meanwhile, net profit stood at a record high of RM620.2 million in FY2026, rising by 16.8% from RM530.8 million.
The Group’s packaging division delivered RM2.61 billion in revenue, up 5.1% compared to RM2.48 billion in the preceding year. Operating profit grew 71.9% to RM257.4 million, from RM149.8 million. The better performance was attributable to improved market sentiment, coupled with better margins driven by prevailing market conditions, favourable product mix and operational
efficiency.
In the property division, revenue rose 8.3% to RM2.20 billion versus RM2.03 billion. Operating profit increased 5.4% to RM624.1 million, from RM592.3 million. The growth stemmed from higher sales, supported by record unit sales during the 12-month period under review, with contributions from projects across the Southern, Northern, Central and Melaka Regions, as well
as steady construction progress.
Scientex recommended a single-tier final dividend of 6 sen per share in respect of FY2026. Together with the interim dividend of 6 sen per share paid on 17 July 2026, total dividends amount to 12 sen per share or RM186.8 million, representing 30.1% of the Group’s net profit in FY2026.
