Economic uncertainty may slow ViTrox after strong showing for 2Q

PETALING JAYA: Foreign-exchange volatility, higher reciprocal tariffs from the United States, and component shortages could weigh on Vitrox Corp Bhd’s near-term margins, says Hong Leong Investment Bank Research (HLIB Research).

This is despite ViTrox’s core net profit for the second quarter of this year (2Q25) coming in within HLIB Research’s expectations at RM37mil.
