MISC Shares Down On Weaker 1Q FY2025 Results
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- MISC Bhd's shares fell in early trade after its net profit for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q FY2025) dropped year-on-year on the back of lower revenue for the quarter. At 9.44 am, MISC slipped two sen to RM7.51, with 48,900 shares transacted. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, MISC's net profit eased to RM705.70 million in 1Q from RM759.90 million a year earlier, while revenue declined to RM2.82 billion against RM3.64 billion. The lower revenue was primarily weighed down by lower revenue from the marine and heavy engineering segment by 54.0 per cent, it said. Despite the weaker performance, Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB) and CIMB Securities Sdn Bhd maintained their buy calls on a positive earnings outlook. HLIB said despite a dismal outlook in MISC's gas segment, it still expects group earnings growth in FY2025 to be driven by the petroleum division and offshore business. 'Our FY2025/2026 profit forecasts are adjusted slightly by -0.3 per cent/-3.7 per cent. We also introduce FY207 earnings forecast at RM2.49 billion,' it said in a note today. CIMB Securities said it expects earnings to normalise in the following quarters, in the absence of the one-time gain from floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Bunga Kertas. 'A dividend per share of eight sen was declared, in line with our forecast.

Lower revenue from key segments weighs on MISC's 1Q 2025 earnings
KUALA LUMPUR: MISC Bhd 's net profit eased to RM705.70 million in its first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q 2025) from RM759.90 million in the same period a year earlier on the back of lower revenue for the quarter. Revenue for the quarter declined to RM2.82 billion against RM3.64 billion year-on-year, primarily weighed down by lower revenue from the marine and heavy engineering segment by 54.0 per cent. The segment recorded a revenue of RM453.1 million, which was RM531.4 million lower than the corresponding quarter's revenue of RM984.5 million, mainly attributable to lower revenue from ongoing heavy engineering projects. "This is due to several projects nearing completion, resulting in lower activity and revenue, while the newer projects are still at early stages,' MISC said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today. Additionally, the group said that the lower revenue in the gas assets and solutions segment was primarily due to lower earning days resulting from contract expiries, vessel disposals, and lower charter rates during the current quarter. Revenue for the segment stood at RM636.2 million, which was RM139.1 million or 17.9 per cent lower than the corresponding quarter's revenue of RM775.3 million. - Bernama
