KUALA LUMPUR: Vstecs Bhd , which saw its net profit rise 24% in the first quarter ended March 31 (1Q25), is optimistic about sustaining this growth trajectory through the second quarter and the rest of the year. The ICT distributor noted that despite cautious consumer sentiment amid ongoing uncertainties, both the enterprise and public sectors remain focused on advancing their digitalisation and AI transformation agendas, highlighting continued resilience within the ICT sector.
