It is now on track to reach its full-year target on the back of continued strong demand, particularly driven by its Sendayan Developments.

Net margin rose to 21.0% in 2Q25 from 17.8% previously, attributed to an increase in other income due to a gain on disposal amounting to RM11.5 million.
As of September 30, 2024, Matrix Concepts’ unbilled sales stood at RM1.32 billion, providing strong visibility for future earnings recognition over the next 15 to 18 months.
