KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 20): Malaysian Pacific Industries (KL:MPI), which provides outsourced semiconductor packaging and testing services, saw only a marginal rise in its latest quarterly net profit despite a 30.6% jump in revenue  as higher costs and taxation ate into its bottomline.

Net profit for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2026 (4QFY2026) edged up 1.6% to RM44.23 million from RM43.53 million a year earlier, according to the group’s bourse filing on Thursday. Earnings per share rose to 22.24 sen from 21.93 sen.

Quarterly revenue increased to RM736.64 million from RM564.02 million.

No final dividend was recommended for the quarter under review.

For the full financial year, net profit rose to RM188.04 million from RM153.78 million in FY2025, while revenue increased 24.3% to RM2.65 billion from RM2.13 billion.

On its prospects, MPI said the group will prioritise expanding into higher-margin segments, particularly AI servers and sensors, while leveraging its technological expertise to unlock new opportunities.

“Simultaneously, management is actively mitigating rising production costs amidst a challenging global economy and geopolitical uncertainty,” it added.

Shares of MPI ended 80 sen or 1.74% lower at RM45.30 on Thursday, valuing the group at RM9.51 billion.
