Guan Chong net profit surges

Regulators in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand have also placed Financial.org on alert lists of unauthorised firms with whom investors should exercise caution.

KUALA LUMPUR: Cocoa products maker Guan Chong Bhd said improved margins and unrealised gain derived from trading of commodity future contracts boosted its net profit in the last quarter ended Dec 31.

It expects the business environment for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2018 (FY18) to be less volatile.
