Aranols: The strong growth in profit margins was driven by robust domestic sales and our steady focus on driving efficiencies and savings to build bottom-line resiliency.

PETALING JAYA: Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd emerged as the biggest gainer on Bursa Malaysia after the maker of Milo and Maggi instant noodles reported a stronger set of results for the third quarter ended Sept 30, despite the impact from unfavourable exports growth, exchange rate and commodity prices.
