KUALA LUMPUR (July 17): Stratus Global Holdings Bhd, set to be listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on July 21, posted a net profit of RM9.5 million for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026 (1QFY2027) on revenue of RM34.84 million.
There are no previous quarterly figures for comparison as this is the company’s first interim results before listing.
The group said Malaysia and Europe remained its largest markets during the quarter, jointly contributing about 80.9% of total revenue.
Stratus Global said demand for semiconductor automated material handling systems (AMHS) is expected to remain, supported by continued expansion of the global semiconductor industry, rising adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and increasing investment in data centres and digital infrastructure.
The group also expects semiconductor manufacturers' continued push towards factory automation to support demand for AMHS solutions, as automated systems help improve production efficiency and can be adapted to evolving manufacturing requirements.
The company said these initiatives are intended to position the group to capture growth opportunities in the semiconductor AMHS market and support financial performance.
Penang-based Stratus Global, which specialises in automated material handling systems for the semiconductor industry, plans to raise RM285 million through its IPO at 80 sen apiece, valuing the company at RM1 billion upon listing.
Its IPO drew strong investor interest, with an oversubscription rate of 128.82 times.
The company operates two factories in Bayan Lepas with over 44,000 sq ft of production space, currently running near full capacity. IPO proceeds will be used mainly for facility expansion (RM122.6 million), R&D (RM45 million), overseas expansion (RM20 million) and working capital (RM82.4 million).
Founded in 1998 by CEO Ryo Narisawa, Stratus Global supplies systems that handle and store semiconductor materials such as silicon wafers in controlled environments. After the IPO, Narisawa will retain a significant stake in the company through direct and indirect holdings.
As at end-June, the group had an unbilled order book of RM108.4 million.
