BERJAYA FOOD BERHAD, a leading entity in the Malaysian processed food industry, has announced a significant corporate action set to take place on 29 July 2026. The company, which operates under the Consumer Discretionary sector and is listed on Bursa Malaysia, will undertake an additional listing and subdivision of shares. This strategic move involves the issuance of 19.36 million new shares at a nominal price of 0.35 MYR each. The primary objective of this transaction is to create a more fragmented share structure, thereby enhancing liquidity and accessibility for investors.
As of the close of trading on 27 July 2026, BERJAYA FOOD BERHAD’s share price stood at 0.165 MYR, with a 52-week high of 0.335 MYR and a low of 0.16 MYR. The company’s market capitalization is currently valued at 315,160,000 MYR. Despite a negative price-to-earnings ratio of -1.32, the company remains a significant player in the industry, with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1983 by Datuk Seri Anwar Mohammed Yunus.
BERJAYA FOOD BERHAD has evolved from a small family-owned business into a substantial organization with diverse operations spanning manufacturing, distribution, and retailing. The company is renowned for its wide array of Halal-certified processed food products, including canned goods, sauces, and baked goods, all adhering to the highest quality standards. Additionally, the company owns several popular restaurant chains in Malaysia, such as “The Chicken Rice Shop” and “The Pappar Chicken Pie Shop.”
The proposed share issuance is expected to increase the total issued share capital to approximately 330 million MYR and the number of outstanding shares to about 2.15 billion. This transaction is purely an additional listing and subdivision of shares, with no other corporate actions, such as the creation of new securities or warrant exercises, associated with it.
The announcement was made on 28 July 2026, with details published on the Bursa Malaysia website. BERJAYA FOOD BERHAD’s mission remains steadfast in providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible food to consumers across Malaysia. The company is also committed to becoming a leader in sustainable food practices, aligning with its broader corporate objectives.
This strategic move is anticipated to bolster investor confidence and support the company’s growth trajectory, reinforcing its position as a key player in the Malaysian food industry.
