PETALING JAYA: Hong Leong Industries Bhd (HLI) believes demand for motorcycles is expected to remain healthy, as it continues to focus on operational excellence through disciplined cost management while sustaining a favourable sales mix.
Releasing its results for the second quarter (2Q26) ended Dec 31, 2025, the group saw net profit grow 6.1% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM137.3mil, as revenue stayed stable at RM909.1mil.
For the half-year ended Dec 31 (1H26), the group similarly saw bottomline increase by 8.2% y-o-y to RM292.2mil, as turnover rose 3.1% to RM1.89bil.
HLI said the better 2Q26 and 1H26 performance was mainly attributable to an improved motorcycle sales mix with better margin models. It declared a dividend of 50 sen per share, bringing total dividends for the fiscal year ending June 2026 to 80 sen per share.
