BERMAZ AUTO BERHAD, a prominent Malaysian company in the Consumer Discretionary sector, has recently disclosed its financial performance for the second quarter of 2026. The company, listed on Bursa Malaysia and specializing in the production of electric and hybrid vehicles, reported a significant decline in its financial results. Net profit for the quarter fell by more than half, while revenue experienced a mid-teens percentage decrease. This downturn is primarily attributed to reduced sales of select Mazda and Kia models, as these product lines approached the end of their cycles.
The competitive landscape has become increasingly challenging for Bermaz Auto Berhad. The entry of low-priced Chinese vehicles into the market has intensified competition, exerting pressure on sales across the company’s portfolio. Despite these challenges, Bermaz Auto Berhad has maintained its commitment to shareholder returns, continuing to pay a dividend of 1.25 sen per share.
In light of the current market conditions, the company’s management has issued a cautious outlook for the remainder of the year. While some imported models remain attractive to consumers, the overall operating environment is expected to remain challenging. Bermaz Auto Berhad is focused on sustaining its position in the growing electric and hybrid vehicle market, leveraging its expertise and commitment to high-quality, reliable, and environmentally friendly vehicles.
As of December 11, 2025, the company’s close price was 0.71 MYR, with a 52-week high of 2.04 MYR and a low of 0.5 MYR. The market capitalization stands at 808,698,368 MYR, and the price-to-earnings ratio is 8.73341. Established in 1993, Bermaz Auto Berhad has been actively involved in developing and manufacturing various vehicle models, including sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and family vans, underscoring its dedication to innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry.
