KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 22): CPE Technology Bhd (KL:CPETECH) posted a 20% jump in net profit for the fourth quarter, underpinned by higher demand for its precision machining services from its semiconductor customers.

Its net profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (4QFY2025) stood at RM3.08 million, up from RM2.57 million a year earlier, CPE Tech’s bourse filing on Friday showed.

The company provides precision machining and mechanical assembly services for various industries, including semiconductor, life sciences and medical devices, sport equipment, and aerospace.

Higher demand from its semiconductor customers led to a 40% surge in revenue to RM32.43 million from RM23.16 million previously.

CPE Tech explained that revenue from its semiconductor customers jumped 53.4% to RM22.07 million in 4QFY2025, compared with RM14.38 million in the same quarter previously.

No dividend was declared for the quarter.

For the financial year ended June 30, 2025 (FY2025), CPE Technology’s net profit more than doubled to RM23.48 million compared with RM11.09 million in FY2024.

Growth in its full-year earnings was similarly fuelled by heightened demand from its semiconductor customers, which saw the company's cumulative revenue jump 43.4% to RM129.14 million from RM90.07 million.

Looking to the financial year ahead, CPE Tech was upbeat on its outlook, citing the global semiconductor market’s continued recovery, especially with Malaysia and Singapore's emergence as a semiconductor manufacturing and equipment sourcing hub.

It admitted that the rosy picture was, however, tempered in the near term by US tariff-related uncertainty. However, the company noted that customers remain committed to longer-term programmes, particularly in semiconductor equipment and integrated gas systems.

Shares in CPE Tech ended half a sen or 0.67% higher at 75 sen on Friday, valuing the company at RM503.49 million.
