JOHOR BAHRU: Wentel Engineering Holdings Bhd, an established metal fabrication and assembly specialist serving regional and international customers, recorded profit after tax (PAT) of RM6.7 million in Q2 ended June 30, 2026 (FY26), an increase of 32.9% from RM5.0 million in the same quarter last year.
Revenue rose 6.8% to RM37.2 million from RM34.9 million previously.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, revenue increased 17.1% from RM31.8 million in Q1 FY26, while PAT more than doubled from RM2.7 million to RM6.7 million.
The improved quarterly performance was supported by higher revenue and a higher gross profit margin of 27.9% from 27.2% in the same quarter last year.
Profitability was also supported by a favourable foreign exchange movement during the quarter.
All three of the group’s business activities recorded higher revenue compared with the corresponding quarter last year.
Fabrication of semi-finished metal products remained the largest revenue contributor at RM26.2 million, approximately 70.4% of Q2 FY26 revenue.
Fabrication of metal parts recorded the strongest growth during the quarter, increasing 21.2% to RM8.5 million, while revenue from the assembly of finished products increased 11.5% to RM2.6 million.
For the six months (1H) of FY26, the group recorded revenue of RM69.0 million, up 4.4% from the same period last year.
PAT stood at RM9.4 million.
Commenting on the group’s performance and outlook, executive director Wong Chun Wei said the improvement in Q2 FY26 reflects a more favourable product mix and stronger contribution from its metal parts fabrication activities.
“More importantly, demand across our core customer segments remains healthy, and we remain focused on converting this demand into sustainable growth as we progressively expand our manufacturing capabilities.
“Looking ahead, electrical and electronics and semiconductor-related activities remain an important growth area for the group, supported by the continued expansion of the regional semiconductor supply chain.
“At the same time, our security-related equipment business continues to provide a stable base.
“With both segments contributing to our growth, our priority is to execute well, support our customers’ increasing requirements and build the capacity needed for the next phase of expansion,” he said.
