Vitrox’s 1H26 core profit of MYR134.9mn formed 58% of both our/Bloomberg consensus

estimates for the full year, which we deem above our expectations. 2Q26 revenue at Implied upside +15.9%

~MYR375mn was up 40% q-q and 105% y-y, underscored by strong shipment volumes

and customer pull-ins across both its core businesses of Automated Board Inspection Market Cap (USD mn) 3,709.0

chain restructuring continued to deepen customer engagements across the

automotive/consumer sector. We highlight that 2Q revenue beat management’s guidance

of MYR252-274mn (note), exceeding the upper end of the guided range by

c.MYR100mn. On the other hand, profitability improved in tandem with the topline growth,

with the impact flowing through to the bottom line as 2Q26 NPM expanded to ~22.6% (vs

19.1% in 1Q26/15.3% in 2Q25), driven by disciplined cost management initiatives and a

lower effective tax rate. 2Q26 core profit at MYR76.5mn was up 31% q-q/162% y-y.
