PETALING JAYA: ViTrox Corporation Bhd’s net profit more than tripled in the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q2’26), driven by robust demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, advanced semiconductor packaging and high-precision inspection solutions.
Net profit surged 202.3% to RM85.04 million from RM28.13 million a year earlier, while revenue more than doubled to RM374.92 million from RM183.04 million. Earnings per share rose to 4.49 sen from 1.49 sen.
In a Bursa Malaysia filing, the automated vision inspection solutions provider said the strong performance was underpinned by explosive AI infrastructure demand, growing orders from the automotive and consumer electronics sectors, and accelerated global supply chain restructuring that strengthened customer engagements.
“The remarkable top-line performance was primarily driven by explosive AI infrastructure demand, our strategic focus into high-value, resilient markets like automotive and consumer electronics, and accelerated global supply chain restructuring,” it said.
ViTrox added that its focus on advanced packaging and high-precision inspection solutions enabled it to address the increasing complexity of AI accelerators and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) technologies, supporting stronger production output.
Profit before tax climbed 163.7% to RM99.95 million from RM37.91 million, supported by manufacturing scale, a favourable product mix and operational optimisation. The group also continued to benefit from tax incentives enjoyed by its key subsidiary, ViTrox Technologies Sdn Bhd.
For the first six months of 2026, net profit jumped 160.5% to RM136.24 million from RM52.29 million in the corresponding period last year, while revenue nearly doubled to RM641.97 million from RM324.16 million.
Looking ahead, ViTrox expects a favourable business environment in the second half of 2026, supported by continued investments in AI and data centre infrastructure.
The group said it will continue prioritising advanced packaging and high-precision inspection and testing solutions while maintaining prudent cost management to mitigate foreign exchange volatility and geopolitical uncertainties, positioning itself to capture further growth opportunities from the expanding semiconductor industry.
