remains largely optimistic for the rest of the financial year ending June 30, 2025 (FY25) but sees a highly uncertain outlook for FY26.
“While the group broadly concurs with industry forecasts and growth from rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and data centres, the escalating geopolitical uncertainties, particularly the recent repeated threat of U.S. tariffs, are concerning,” the chip assembly and testing firm said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
In the second quarter ended Dec 31, Inari’s net profit rose 3.64% to RM90mil, or 2.38 sen per share, bringing its first-half (1HFY25) net profit to RM114.1mil.
Revenue for the quarter fell 15.7% to RM348.9mil, bringing total revenue for 1HFY25 to RM736.9mil.
