PETALING JAYA: Vitrox Corp Bhd
anticipates a sustained growth trajectory throughout 2026, as the global semiconductor industry enters a robust expansion phase.
“This momentum is primarily driven by escalating demand for artificial intelligence, the expansion of data centre infrastructure, and a drastic price surge in the memory sector, where revenues are projected to increase significantly,” the automatic vision inspection solution provider said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
In the first quarter ended March 31 (1Q), ViTrox’s net profit more than doubled to RM51.2mil, or 2.70 sen, compared wth RM24.2mil, or 1.28 sen, in the year-ago quarter.
It said the strong bottom-line performance underscores its operational efficiency and a more favourable product mix. Quarterly revenue jumped 89.2% to RM267.1mil versus RM141.1mil a year ago.
ViTrox said the robust growth was primarily driven by heightened demand for Automated Board Inspection and Machine Vision System as the global semiconductor industry recovered.
“The expansion reflects our successful penetration into high-growth sectors, restoring volumes far above the previous year’s low base,” it added.
ViTrox remains cautiously optimistic on its outlook and continues to implement proactive cost management and operational measures to safeguard margins against currency volatility and geopolitical risks.
