PETALING JAYA: Scientex Bhd
has ended its financial year on July 31, 2026 (FY26) with a higher bottomline, underpinned by improved contribution from both its packaging and property divisions.
The group said in a stock exchange filing, net profit in FY26 rose to RM620.17mil from RM530.75mil in the previous year as revenue grew to RM4.81bil from RM4.52bil in FY25.
Packaging revenue increased 5.1% to RM2.61bil due to overall improvement in market sentiment during the current financial year, coupled with improved margins driven by prevailing market conditions, favourable product mix, and operational efficiency.
In the property segment, revenue increased 8.3% to RM2.2bil in FY26, mainly attributable to higher sales, supported by record unit sales during the 12-month period under review.
Scientex declared a final dividend of six sen per share with an entitlement date of Jan 5, 2027, and payable on Jan 21, 2027.
Despite the improved results in FY26, the group said its packaging business continues to operate in a challenging market environment, with geopolitical tensions and global uncertainties driving volatility in energy and raw material prices.
“Uncertain market demand, together with ongoing supply chain and logistics disruptions, continues to impact overall market stability.”
In response, Scientex said the packaging division remains focused on maintaining operational stability and ensuring reliable supply.
“Close engagement with customers remains a key priority to manage fluctuating demand and changing market conditions.
“The division also continues to strengthen cost management and operational efficiency to improve resilience and maintain competitiveness.”
Moving forward, Scientex pointed out that the packaging division will continue to closely monitor market developments and remain agile in responding to market uncertainties.
“The packaging division remains committed to strengthening its resilience and competitiveness, while working towards sustainable performance in the coming financial year.”
In the meantime, Scientex said the property division continued to reinforce its foothold, while capitalising on growth opportunities in the affordable housing segment.
“Backed by a robust development pipeline and a stable market outlook, the division remains well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory.”
In the fourth quarter, Scientex said the property division rolled out new launches across its latest townships – Scientex SP Astana, Scientex Bestari Jaya, Scientex Cheng and Scientex Muar.
“The maiden launches in Scientex Bestari Jaya and Scientex Muar recorded positive market reception, reflecting buyer confidence in the township’s value proposition.
“Scientex SP Astana and Scientex Cheng also saw encouraging take-up, underscoring healthy demand across these growth corridors.”
The company said the property division ended the financial year on a solid footing, supported by healthy launch activity and encouraging market response across its township portfolio.
“Building on this performance, the division remains well-positioned to sustain its growth momentum and deliver a satisfactory performance in the year ahead,” it said.
