DRB-HICOM records RM17.7mil net profit in Q1
This was attributed to reduced revenue across major segments, coupled with higher depreciation and amortisation expenses.
According to its filing on Bursa Malaysia, DRB-HICOM's revenue for the quarter slipped five per cent to RM4.11 billion from RM4.33 billion.
This was mainly impacted by lower sales of Proton vehicles and lower contributions from its manufacturing and engineering businesses.
No interim dividend was announced for the financial period.
DRB-HICOM said it continues to prioritise digital transformation in core sectors like banking and postal services, aiming to enhance operational efficiency through these ongoing initiatives.
"In other areas, including aerospace and defence, services, and properties, the group continues to strengthen business fundamentals to support resilience and long-term sustainability.
"The group anticipates a moderate outlook for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025," it added.

MARKET PULSE AM AUG 18, 2025 [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: News on the latest moves on the stock and crypto markets. Bursa Malaysia opened higher on Monday, rebounding despite Wall Street's mixed performance. An analyst said sentiment has likely turned cautious for the moment and expects the index to hover between 1,570 and 1,580 levels today. IJM Corporation was among the most actively traded counters after its subsidiary secured a contract worth RM1.4 billion to build a data centre. The stock climbed 3.77 per cent, rising 11 sen to RM3.03. In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin was trading just below RM500,000, at RM497,369, while Solana stood at RM801.

Foreign Investors Extend Selling Streak To 6 Weeks, Net Outflow Eases RM566 Million
Foreign investors continued to pare down their holdings on Bursa Malaysia for the sixth consecutive week, recording a net outflow of RM566.1 million for the week ended Friday. The figure, however, marked a sharp 50% reduction from the prior week's RM1.14 billion outflow. According to Kenanga, foreign investors were net sellers on all five trading days, with daily outflows ranging from RM94 million to RM167.4 million. The heaviest selling was seen on Friday, followed by Thursday (–RM103.5m), Tuesday (–RM101.5m), and Monday (–RM99.8m). Wednesday posted the smallest withdrawal. By sector, foreign investors channelled funds into Plantations (RM77.7m), Property (RM52.7m), and Financial Services (RM42.2m). Meanwhile, the sectors facing the largest net foreign outflows were Utilities (–RM209.5m), Telecommunication & Media (–RM185.5m), and Healthcare (–RM152.7m). On the domestic front, local institutions extended their net buying streak to a third week, with inflows of RM760.5m, helping cushion the foreign sell-off. In contrast, local retailers turned net sellers, reversing five straight weeks of buying, with a net outflow of RM194.4m. Trading activity was broadly higher across the board, except for local retailers. Average daily trading volume (ADTV) rose +8.9% for local institutions and +1.5% for foreign investors, but slipped –3% for retailers. Market watchers say foreign flows will likely remain sensitive to global risk sentiment, with upcoming US economic data and geopolitical developments expected to guide trading direction
