Paramount Q2 earnings 134% higher on disposal of land

Scomi Group Bhd surprised investors when it proposed to revise its current issued share capital reduction from RM224.96mil to RM3mil from the earlier RM40mil.

PETALING JAYA: Paramount Corp Bhd’s net profit for the second quarter to June 30, 2018 jumped 133.92% to RM42.3mil mainly attributable to the disposal of 9.4 acres of industrial land in Kota Damansara (KD). Without this contribution, profits would have been slightly lower.

Earnings per share jumped to 9.88 sen from 4.28 sen.
