Mah Sing's Q1 earnings up 10pct to RM66.03mil
KUALA LUMPUR: Mah Sing Group Bhd recorded a 9.9 per cent rise in net profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25) to RM66.03 million from RM60.04 million in the same quarter last year, supported by stronger gross profit.

This was mainly driven by progressive revenue recognition from ongoing construction activities.
It achieved RM1.01 billion in new property sales during the first five months of 2025, slightly surpassing the RM992 million recorded in the same period last year.
Mah Sing said it is reinforcing its recurring income strategy by transforming selected commercial properties into lively lifestyle and placemaking hubs.
The company said upgrades to Ramada by Wyndham Meridin Johor Bahru, along with its new project Zenya in Kepong, aim to deliver consistent rental income while building an integrated ecosystem that meets the changing needs of the community.
"The group is also exploring a comprehensive healthcare and wellness hub in its existing commercial asset, Icon City 2 in Petaling Jaya, envisioned as a one-stop centre for medical, wellness and F&B services, serving people of all ages and promoting holistic wellbeing," it added.
Mah Sing said it is securing long-term growth in recurring income by strategically venturing into the digital infrastructure sector.
The company highlighted that data centres like Mah Sing DC Hub\@Southville City have the potential to provide stable, long-term cash flow, driven by strong demand from hyperscalers and artificial intelligence (AI) operators.
"Leveraging its developer expertise to secure critical infrastructure and strategic land, Mah Sing is well-positioned to become a key partner in this high-growth sector," the group said.

Mah Sing's growth intact despite data centre delay
KUALA LUMPUR: Analysts remain upbeat on Mah Sing Group Bhd's outlook, citing steady property sales and resilient fundamentals, despite the company missing a deadline to formalise its data centre (DC) deal with Bridge Data Centres (BDC). RHB Investment Bank, CIMB Securities, Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB Research), and BIMB Securities have all maintained their "Buy" or "Add" calls, citing the group's solid fundamentals and long-term growth prospects. RHB Investment, which trimmed its target price to RM1.83 from RM2.16, said Mah Sing's first-quarter results were within expectations and highlighted the potential of its Southville City land in Bangi as a strategic DC location. "Although Mah Sing did not sign the definitive agreement with BDC within the required timeline, the land remains highly strategic," it said. CIMB Securities, which lowered its target price to RM1.90 from RM2.10, said the lapse in exclusivity now allows Mah Sing to pursue discussions with other parties. The firm said Mah Sing "remains committed to unlocking value from its sizeable landbank." BIMB Securities echoed the positive sentiment, citing RM1.01 billion in property sales in the first five months of 2025, driven by strong take-up rates at projects such as M Nova and M Legasi. It set a target price of RM2.02. HLIB Research noted that unbilled sales of RM2.73 billion provide earnings visibility into 2025 and revised its target price to RM1.85 from RM2.05. Mah Sing has lined up RM3.3 billion worth of new launches this year and is on track to achieve its full-year sales target of RM2.65 billion. Despite the BDC setback, analysts said the stock offers strong upside potential, with RHB Investment estimating a total return of nearly 84 per cent, including dividends. "Investors should look beyond the noise and focus on Mah Sing's proven execution and product-market fit," the firm said.

Mah Sing starts FY25 strong with 10% earnings growth
PETALING JAYA: Mah Sing Group Bhd kicked off the financial year 2025 (FY25) with a 10% on-year rise in earnings to RM66.04mil or earnings per share (EPS) of 2.58 sen for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25). Revenue for the period rose 16% to RM649.69mil driven by progressive revenue recognition from ongoing construction projects. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the property developer noted its property development segment posted higher revenue and operating profits of RM521mil and RM103.4mil respectively in the quarter. 'The group achieved RM1.01bil property sales for the five months of 2025,' Mah Sing stated. Its manufacturing segment reported a revenue of RM113mil and an operating loss of RM1.3mil in 1Q25. This was in comparison to RM98.5mil revenue and operating profit of RM0.7mil recorded in the same quarter in the previous year. Meanwhile, Mah Sing's revenue from its investment holding and other segments amounted to RM99.29mil in the period comprising mainly interest income from the deposit of funds, revenue from trading of building materials and hotel operation. Looking ahead, Mah Sing said the new property sales of RM1.01bil in the first five months shows the group is on track to meet its full-year sales target of a minimum RM2.65bil in FY25. The groups' latest acquisition of its first new land in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, which has a gross development value of RM283mil and is expected to fuel Mah Sing future growth. 'The group will continue to identify strategic land opportunities for potential developments with efficient turnaround time,' it added. Separately Mah Sing stated it is now welcoming new investor interest for its 17.55-acre freehold land in Southville City, Dengkil, following the expiry of the previous collaboration agreement with Bridge Data Centres Malaysia V Sdn Bhd (BDC). This came about after Mah Sing was unable to get a clear commitment from BDC to proceed with the execution of a definitive agreement. On May 30, 2024, the two parties had signed a collaboration agreement for the development of a data centre there. The site — backed by ready infrastructure for up to 100MW power capacity — remains a strategic location for data centre development. Mah Sing added it is open to exploring joint ventures, build-and-lease (BTL) models or outright land sale. Collaboration for a second data centre at a 35.7-acre site for a larger 200MW data centre remains under discussion, it said. Mah Sing also remains open to engagement with other potential data centre operators.
