LB Aluminium Bhd turned in a much stronger set of results for the quarter ended Oct 31, 2025 (2QFY2026), with net profit rising sharply to RM 22.03 million (USD 5.34 million). A year earlier, the group earned RM7.64 million, making this almost a threefold increase driven by better showings from both its aluminium and property operations.
Its revenue told a different story. Turnover slipped around 9.33 per cent to RM 270.86 million (USD 65.7 million) from RM280.19 million (USD 67.9 million), mainly because the aluminium division sold less volume. Even so, that segment’s PBT improved, landing at RM 10.58 million (USD 2.56 million) compared with RM 5.30 million (USD 1.2 million) last year. Margins were better, and forex losses didn’t bite as hard.
The property side did most of the heavy lifting. It booked RM39.38 million in PBT, well above the RM11.74 million reported previously. The PSV 1 and PSV 2 Residences projects kept progressing — more sales, more work done — and that fed straight into the numbers. There was no dividend for the quarter.

For the first half of FY2026, LB Aluminium posted RM 33.63 million (USD 8.16 million) in net profit. Last year’s figure for the same period was RM16.50 million (USD 4 million), so it’s still running ahead. Revenue for the six months came in at RM 541.29 million (USD 131 million), slightly lower than the RM 559.95 million (USD 135.9 million) recorded before.
Management commented on the market as well. Aluminium prices have been swinging around, and trade tensions plus a cloudy global outlook aren’t helping. The company says it’s keeping a close watch on costs and will tweak selling prices if needed to protect margins.
Its share price finished Monday at 44.5 sen, down half a sen, which puts the company’s market value at RM194 million (USD 47 million).
