KUALA LUMPUR: Sports Toto Bhd (SPToto) expects its business to remain stable and resilient for the rest of the financial year ending June 30, 2026 (FY26), supported by steady demand in its core number forecast operations.

“The number forecast operation (NFO) business is expected to sustain growth trajectory, supported by the popularity of its Jackpot and Digit games.

“The directors remain confident that SPToto will continue to maintain its leading market position in the legalised NFO business sector,” SPToto said in a statement.

In the second quarter ended June 30, SPToto posted a lower net profit of RM45.1mil, bringing its cumulative first-half net profit to RM67.2mil, or earnings per share of 5.05 sen.

Quarterly revenue was flat at RM1.48bil, while first-half revenue rose 1.64% to RM2.97bil from RM2.92bil in the previous corresponding period.

The board declared a second interim dividend of 3.0 sen per share, amounting to about RM39.65mil for FY26, payable on April 17, 2026 to shareholders on record as at March 27, 2026.

This brings the total dividend distribution for the financial period ended Dec 31, 2025 to approximately RM66.17mil.

“Despite the geopolitical and global economic uncertainties, the group’s businesses are anticipated to continue delivering a stable and positive outlook for the remaining quarters of FY26,” SPToto said.
