    Leon Fuat Raih Lonjakan Untung Tiga Angka Menerusi Pengurusan Margin Yang Cekap

    Disiplin tinggi dalam tadbir urus kos dan kecekapan operasi ternyata membuahkan hasil buat Leon Fuat Berhad (Leon Fuat atau Kumpulan) apabila pengeluar produk keluli terkemuka ini berjaya meraih lonjakan keuntungan luar biasa sebanyak tiga angka bagi suku pertama berakhir 31 Mac 2026.

    Menerusi strategi pengurusan margin yang cekap, Keuntungan Sebelum Cukai (PBT) Kumpulan melonjak mendadak sebanyak 195.2 peratus kepada RM5.51 juta bagi suku dikaji, berbanding RM1.87 juta yang dicatatkan pada suku yang sama tahun sebelumnya. Seterusnya, Keuntungan Selepas Cukai (PAT) turut mencatatkan pertumbuhan konsisten tiga angka iaitu sebanyak 189.1 peratus kepada RM4.05 juta, berbanding RM1.40 juta bagi tempoh sama tahun lalu.

    Peningkatan ketara pada keuntungan bersih ini dipacu terutamanya oleh pengembangan margin keuntungan kasar keseluruhan yang meningkat kepada 11.2 peratus daripada 9.2 peratus sebelum ini. Keberkesanan strategi penentuan harga dan kawalan kos ini membolehkan keuntungan kasar Kumpulan meningkat 23.3 peratus kepada RM24.09 juta, meskipun berhadapan asas perolehan pendapatan yang stabil.

    Bagi suku pertama tahun kewangan 2026, Leon Fuat merekodkan pendapatan sebanyak RM214.84 juta, iaitu peningkatan marginal 1.1 peratus berbanding RM212.52 juta setahun lalu. Segmen pemprosesan nilai tambah kekal menjadi tunjang utama perolehan dengan sumbangan sebanyak RM138.36 juta (64.4 peratus), manakala baki RM76.45 juta (35.6 peratus) disumbangkan oleh segmen perdagangan keluli bersepadu.

    Pengarah Eksekutif Leon Fuat, Calvin Ooi Shang How menjelaskan, pencapaian cemerlang di permulaan tahun kewangan ini membuktikan keberkesanan model perniagaan bersepadu syarikat dalam mendepani pasaran. Menurut beliau, keutamaan Kumpulan pada masa ini adalah untuk terus memperkukuh kecekapan operasi, meningkatkan penglibatan pelanggan, dan memaksimumkan nilai rantaian menerusi keupayaan pemprosesan keluli serta pembuatan hiliran.

    Di sebalik prestasi suku pertama yang kukuh, pihak pengurusan Leon Fuat mengekalkan unjuran yang optimis tetapi berhati-hati bagi baki suku tahun akan datang. Kumpulan sedar akan cabaran luar kawal termasuk turun naik harga komoditi keluli global, ketidakstabilan pasaran pertukaran wang asing, dan risiko geopolitik yang boleh menjejaskan kos pembekalan keseluruhan.

    Bagi meminimumkan risiko rantaian bekalan, Leon Fuat komited untuk memantau rapat trend pasaran dan mengambil langkah proaktif seperti instrumen kontrak hadapan serta mengekalkan pengurusan inventori yang berhemat. Pada masa yang sama, Kumpulan akan terus mengoptimumkan kemudahan pengeluaran sedia ada termasuk operasi pembuatan paip keluli dikimpal bagi memenuhi permintaan pasaran domestik yang dijangka terus disokong oleh projek infrastruktur dan aktiviti pelaburan tempatan.

    Setakat 29 Mei 2026, modal pasaran Leon Fuat bernilai RM127.9 juta, bersandarkan kepada harga pasaran saham RM0.375 seunit.

  • Eckem Holdings Rolls Out 125m-Share IPO Prospectus

    Eckem Holdings Rolls Out 125m-Share IPO Prospectus

    KUALA LUMPUR — Eckem Holdings Berhad officially rolled out its Initial Public Offering (IPO) prospectus today, paving the way for its upcoming debut on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The specialty industrial chemical solutions provider, which also manufactures and trades rubber products, is looking to raise RM15.00 million in gross proceeds to fund its next chapter of growth.

    The IPO layout is straightforward: a public issue of 125.00 million new ordinary shares (representing 20.00% of the company’s enlarged issued share capital) and an offer for sale of 62.50 million existing shares (representing 10.00%). Priced at an accessible RM0.12 per share, the listing gives the group a solid financial launchpad to scale up its operations.

    Eckem Holdings has a clear game plan for the RM15.00 million raised. The largest portion—RM6.00 million—will go toward building a brand-new corporate office, warehouse, and laboratory to seriously level up its physical infrastructure. Another RM2.00 million will fund a new production line for its rubber products segment to boost manufacturing capabilities. The rest of the proceeds will keep the company lean and agile, with RM1.45 million allocated to repay bank borrowings, RM1.75 million set aside for daily working capital, and RM3.80 million covering the standard listing expenses.

    Mr. Tan Khai Jeik (Jack Tan), Executive Director of Eckem Holdings Berhad, shared that launching the prospectus is a massive milestone for the team. He noted that over the years, the company has built its reputation on being a reliable partner to industrial customers, offering everything from steady supply chains to tailored chemical formulations and technical support. He added that the IPO capital will help upgrade their facilities and tech, making them even better equipped to support Malaysia’s busy manufacturing sector.

    Datuk Bill Tan, Managing Director of M & A Securities Sdn Bhd, is also optimistic about the company’s trajectory. He highlighted that Eckem Holdings has carved out a really strong, stable niche in the specialty industrial chemicals space thanks to its custom solutions and loyal client base. With Malaysia’s industrial and manufacturing sectors continuing to grow, he sees the group as being in the perfect position to capture new opportunities and drive sustainable growth once listed.

    The company currently serves a wide variety of industries, providing solutions to downstream industrial manufacturers, compounders, and resellers. While Eckem Holdings has a global footprint with clients in China, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, its home market is its strongest driver—Malaysian operations accounted for roughly 94% of its total revenue in the 2025 financial year.
