Nestle Malaysia reports RM197.51 million quarterly profit, proposes dividend
Revenue grew 5.3 per cent to RM1.86 billion as the company reported stronger domestic demand.
Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd reported RM197.51 million in third-quarter net profit, against RM114.04 million a year earlier, attributing the increase to higher sales. The results cover the quarter that closed on September 30, 2026, according to its October 27 Bursa Malaysia filing.
The board proposed an 80 sen-per-share second interim dividend, totalling RM187.60 million, for the financial year ending December 31, 2026. Payment is due on December 9, 2026, with eligibility based on the November 11, 2026 record of depositors.
Quarterly revenue increased from RM1.76 billion to RM1.86 billion, a gain of 5.3 per cent. Nestle credited stronger demand in Malaysia across key product categories, alongside innovation and commercial execution. Export demand for its Malaysian-made halal products remained consistent, it said.
Nine-month net profit reached RM557.64 million, compared with RM387.50 million in the corresponding period a year earlier. Revenue for that period rose to RM5.55 billion from RM5.20 billion, which Nestle attributed to stronger domestic sales.
Nestle retained its positive outlook for 2026. It said investments in digitalisation, automation and productivity were expected to make operations more efficient and agile.
