KUALA LUMPUR: Betamek Bhd
, which saw its net profit surge nearly 90% in the third quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 (3Q26), remains well positioned to benefit from Malaysia’s resilient automotive market, rising electronics content per vehicle and the ongoing transition towards electric and smart mobility.
The original design manufacturer (ODM), in a statement, said its research and development arm, Betamek Research Sdn Bhd, is expected to further strengthen its technological capabilities through regional strategic collaborations.
In 3Q26, Betamek’s net profit jumped to RM8.9mil, or earnings per share of 1.98 sen compared with RM4.7mil, or 1.05 sen achieved in the same quarter last year.
Quarterly revenue rose 10.9% to RM80.1mil against RM72.3mil a year ago, supported by higher orders from key automotive customers and improved throughput across core product lines.
On a cumulative basis, Betamek achieved nine-month revenue of RM209.5mil and pretax profit (PBT) of RM30.8mil, with both topline and bottom line having surpassed 87% of the group’s audited financial year ended March 31, 2025 (FY25) results.
“The Board is optimistic that, based on current momentum and order visibility, FY26 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year for the Betamek Group.”
The board declared a third interim dividend of 1.25 sen per share for FY26, bringing the total dividend for the year to 3.50 sen per share, equivalent to a payout ratio of about 64% based on nine-month earnings and a dividend yield of 6.9%.
