Capital A's earnings beat expectations, 2025-2027 forecasts upgraded
KUALA LUMPUR: Capital A Bhd's earnings surpassed Maybank Investment Bank Bhd's (Maybank IB) expectations, driven by stronger-than-anticipated ancillary income, led by baggage fees. As a result, Maybank IB revised its core earnings forecasts for financial years 2025, 2026 and 2027 upwards by 43 per cent, 27 per cent and 27 per cent respectively. Capital A reported a core net profit of RM116.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 (1Q25), covering both aviation and non-aviation segments, which made up 33 per cent of Maybank IB's full-year estimate. Maybank IB said the better-than-expected performance was mainly due to ancillary revenue reaching RM60 per passenger in 1Q25, RM3 higher than initially projected. "Extrapolated over the 16.2 million passengers carried in 1Q25, we estimated that this had a RM30 million to RM40 million positive impact on core earnings. "Focusing on non-aviation, it recorded 1Q25 core net profit of RM37.7 million which was within our expectations at 23 per cent of our financial year estimate," it added. Maybank IB expects stronger earnings for Capital A, supported by a weaker US dollar, with every 1 per cent drop potentially adding around US$2 million (or RM8 million to RM9 million) to pre-tax earnings. Additionally, lower jet fuel prices, with each US$1 per barrel decrease, could contribute approximately US$15.6 million (or RM66.4 million). The firm said Capital A's earnings are also expected to benefit from the return to service of the remaining 9 per cent of its fleet by the third quarter of 2025. The company is aiming to have its practice note 17 (PN17) status lifted by September 2025. Additionally, it is considering a dual listing in Hong Kong and plans to list its Brand AA in the United States.

Drug syndicates turn to ganja buds as demand surges, say police
KUALA LUMPUR: Drug syndicates are increasingly turning to the distribution of cannabis buds due to rising demand, authorities revealed. Federal Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) acting director Deputy Commissioner Mat Zani @ Mohd Salahuddin Che Ali said cannabis buds are more difficult to obtain compared to regular cannabis. He said cannabis buds are also more expensive than the compressed cannabis typically found on the black market between 2023 and this year. "Based on investigations, cannabis buds are being sold via social media and e-commerce platforms. "These syndicates are believed to import cannabis seeds and cultivate them using high-tech methods, with the buds then sold exclusively to selected customers," he told Metro Ahad. Mat Zani said cannabis buds are believed to contain the highest levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in cannabis. "The price of cannabis buds can be up to 30 times higher than that of regular cannabis. "They are seen as an alternative to common cannabis, which usually comes in the form of compressed blocks smuggled from Thailand or sourced domestically." He said compressed cannabis is easier to obtain, costing around RM3,200 per kg. Authorities also believe that drug-laced vape liquids often contain THC extracted from cannabis buds as the main ingredient. "In July 2023, police busted a syndicate comprising three family members who infused 'ganja juice' into bottles of vape liquid. "The syndicate sold the cannabis-infused vape liquid at RM240 per bottle, or in small doses priced between RM3 and RM5 per drop, targeting school students who couldn't afford a full bottle." In another case in Kuala Lumpur in 2023, police seized 3.5 litres of cannabis liquid that had been processed as vape flavouring, he said. He said a syndicate operating in Brickfields was found to be bottling THC in 5ml containers and selling them at RM60 each. Mat Zani said the NCID has detected and taken action against the sale of cannabis buds nationwide. Thirteen arrests linked to cannabis buds were recorded in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, along with one case in Negeri Sembilan, between 2023 and April this year. "The sale or use of any cannabis product is illegal and carries severe penalties," he said. He added that drug trafficking offences are investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act, which provides for the death penalty or life imprisonment. He also reminded the public not to get involved in cannabis-related trafficking or abuse, whether in the form of cannabis buds or cannabis-flavoured vape products. "Police are also engaging with the community, especially the youth, to ensure they are not deceived by this new trend and that they understand the dangers and legal consequences," he said.
