S P Setia Bhd recorded a net profit after tax of RM89mn for 1QFY25, mainly attributable to operational efficiency and effective cost management.
Perdana Petroleum Bhd slipped into the red with a net loss of RM18mn in 1QFY25 from a net profit of RM6mn a year earlier due to lower revenue and lower contribution from third-party vessel chartering and a marginal increase in vessels direct costs.
Apex Healthcare Bhd net profit for 1QFY25 dropped 7.1% to RM17.6mn from RM21.2mn in the same quarter last year on lower public sector sales.
Solarvest Holdings Bhd reported a net profit of RM20.5mn for 4QFY25, nearly tripling from RM7.7mn a year earlier, driven by increased roll-outs of utility-scale solar projects under the Corporate Green Power Programme.
