KUALA LUMPUR (June 25): Gamuda Bhd (KL:GAMUDA) reported a 4.51% rise in net profit for the third quarter ended April 30, 2026 (3QFY2026), reaching RM257.98 million, compared to RM246.85 million in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by stronger contributions from its domestic construction activities.
The company also declared a third interim dividend of five sen per share for the financial year ending July 31, 2026, payable on July 25, 2026. This dividend is consistent with previous quarters, reflecting Gamuda's commitment to shareholder returns amid steady operational performance.
Revenue for the quarter increased to RM3.2 billion from RM2.9 billion a year earlier, supported by progress in key infrastructure projects in Malaysia. The group's construction division saw higher activity levels, particularly in the Pan Borneo Highway and other local projects, offsetting softer contributions from overseas operations.
Gamuda's managing director, Datuk Lin Yun Ling, stated that the company remains focused on executing its domestic order book while exploring opportunities in renewable energy and digital infrastructure. The group's outstanding order book stood at RM24.5 billion as of April 30, 2026, providing visibility for the next few years.
Analysts have maintained a 'buy' rating on the stock, citing the resilient domestic construction pipeline and potential for international expansion. Gamuda's shares closed at RM4.80 on Thursday, up 0.5% from the previous day.
