RHB: MVV 2.0 set to drive earnings growth for Matrix Concepts in FY26
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) is expected to serve as a new earnings growth catalyst for Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd in the financial year 2026 (FY26), RHB Research said.
The firm noted that lower land costs will offer the company greater flexibility in pricing and help support stronger profit margins.
"Negri Sembilan makes up 88 per cent of Matrix Concept's total revenue in nine months of the financial year 2025 and almost 80 per cent of total landbank.
"Upon the maiden launch of the first residential product in FY26, MVV City is expected to be the next property sales growth driver over the longer term," it said.
RHB Research noted that prior to this, the company had already begun marketing its industrial land plots, securing between RM300 million and RM400 million in sales, which are expected to be recognised starting from the second half of financial year 2026.
The firm added that management is also expected to pursue a joint venture for the development of its managed industrial park, with both initiatives to be located within the 1,000-acre industrial zone in MVV City.
RHB Research further stated that the upcoming development in Negeri Sembilan is expected to benefit Matrix Concepts, as the creation of new job opportunities will likely drive demand for housing in the area.
"We note that Matrix Concepts already has a long track record in property development in the state, and it has acquired 2,382 acres of land in MVV 2.0 over the last three to four years (1,000 acres pending completion in the second half of financial year 2026).
"This is on top of its current remaining landbank of 1,366 acres for the Sendayan developments," it said.
RHB Research said Negeri Sembilan is poised for accelerated economic growth in the medium term, driven by recent progress in MVV 2.0 and Port Dickson.
It noted that aside from Matrix Concepts, which has already held a groundbreaking ceremony for its MVV City project, Gamuda Bhd has purchased 389 acres in Springhill Industrial Park, Port Dickson, to develop cloud and data centre facilities.
In addition, SD Guthrie Bhd and NS Corporation have officially partnered with a well-known developer to jointly develop 1,195 acres in Bukit Pelandok into an industrial park.

Sukuk misuse case: Tan Sri to be quizzed soon following hospital discharge, says Azam
KUALA LUMPUR: A Tan Sri who is under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds linked to a Klang Valley highway project is expected to be called in for questioning soon. The individual, who was recently discharged from hospital, is also being investigated for overseas asset ownership and high-stakes gambling activities involving millions of ringgit. MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed that the Tan Sri, who is believed to be a highway concession holder, had yet to give his statement due to recent medical treatment at a private hospital, reported Astro Awani. 'A statement has not yet been recorded from the Tan Sri, but I have been informed that doctors have recently allowed him to be discharged. My officers will be contacting him soon to arrange an appointment,' said Azam on Saturday (June 7). He added that while the individual is a key witness in the case, MACC has already recorded statements from 45 other witnesses, some of whom have been recalled to assist further in the investigation. 'He is indeed one of the individuals we have yet to question, but we already have testimonies from other witnesses. I cannot confirm whether additional witnesses will be required after his statement,' Azam said. According to sources, MACC had earlier obtained medical confirmation from the doctor regarding the Tan Sri's condition before proceeding to plan for his interview. The investigation centres around the suspected misappropriation of sukuk bonds intended for the construction of a highway. On June 3 last year, MACC disclosed that they had seized assets valued about RM143mil from the individual as part of the probe. This included luxury vehicles and properties owned by the Tan Sri, both locally and abroad, including in London and Switzerland. The seized assets comprised 14 personal bank accounts totalling RM4.5mil, eight company accounts with RM33mil, a luxury condominium and a parcel of land valued at RM24.5mil, nine luxury cars worth RM7.65mil, designer watches valued at around RM25mil, handbags worth RM3mil, jewellery and diamonds estimated at RM6mil, and four horses valued at RM400,000. Other seized items include high-end alcoholic beverages worth RM3mil, foreign assets estimated at over RM15mil, and gambling-related activities involving about RM20mil. Azam said asset declaration notices have been handed to the Tan Sri and other related parties.

Strong FDI Momentum Negeri Sembilan has already attracted RM24.1 billion in foreign investments since 2019, with South Korea, Singapore, France, China, and Taiwan leading the pack. Major projects include: F&N's RM1.8 billion AgriValley in Gemas France's Safran Landing Systems expansion (RM650 million) Semiconductor ventures from Taiwan and South Korea Fast Lane for Investors To accelerate project implementation, Negeri Sembilan launched the 'Fast Lane' initiative, which cuts approval times from 24 to just 14 months. This proactive approach has helped the state become a top FDI destination post-pandemic. Human Capital as a Growth Engine The state is also investing in talent through partnerships between industries and institutions like UiTM and polytechnics. A standout example includes EV companies collaborating with local universities to train job-ready graduates. Negeri Sembilan consistently ranks among the top performers in national education metrics. Digital and Green Development The Negeri Sembilan Digital Economy Blueprint 2027 aims to transition the state into a digital powerhouse.
