PETALING JAYA: Northeast Group Bhd posted a 25-fold surge in profit after tax (PAT) to RM7.2 million for the first quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 (Q1FYE2026), from a year ago, according to its filing with Bursa Malaysia.

Revenue for the quarter rose 51.6% year-on-year to RM36.6 million, while gross profit jumped 110.7% to RM12.9 million. Profit before tax (PBT) came in at RM9.0 million.

The precision engineering components manufacturer said the stronger earnings were driven by higher revenue and improved gross profit margin. The absence of one-off listing expenses and a net gain on impairment of trade receivables also lifted profitability during the quarter.

Managing director Ng Chay Chin said the group’s focus on high-mix, low-volume production has enabled it to build a resilient position in the global photonics and semiconductor industries.

He said the company is in a capital reinvestment phase, integrating two new properties near its existing operations and constructing a new factory to boost production capacity.

The group said the expansion aligns with sustained demand in the precision engineering space and will position it to capture future growth while continuing to serve its global customer base.
