KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 : PETRONAS Dagangan Bhd posted a 3.9% rise in net profit for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 (4QFY2025), driven by stronger results from its commercial segment which offset a weaker performance in retail.
Quarterly net profit came in at RM258.88 million or 26.10 sen per share, up from RM249.06 million or 25.10 sen per share a year earlier.
Revenue surged 17.6% to a record RM10.58 billion from RM8.99 billion during the quarter, according to a bourse filing with Bursa Malaysia.
The retail segment recorded a 23% increase in revenue to RM5.98 billion, supported by higher average selling prices and sales volume.
However, pre-tax profit fell 43% to RM114 million, mainly due to higher expenditure and less favourable wholesale market price movements for refined fuel.
In contrast, the commercial segment delivered robust growth, with pre-tax profit jumping 86% to RM220.4 million as revenue rose 12% to RM4.53 billion.
The stronger performance was attributed to higher gross profit from improved demand for Jet A-1 and diesel, a supportive market environment, and lower expenditure.
The group declared a special dividend of 20 sen and an interim dividend of 26 sen, bringing the total payout to 46 sen for the quarter, slightly higher than 45 sen a year ago. The entitlement date is March 11.
For FY2025, total dividends rose to RM1.12 per share, compared with RM1.07 in FY2024.
For the full year, PETRONAS Dagangan’s net profit increased 1.2% to RM1.1 billion from RM1.09 billion a year ago, while revenue edged up 0.8% to RM38.27 billion from RM37.95 billion.
Looking ahead, the group said it will continue to streamline strategies and enhance operational efficiency by leveraging deeper customer engagement and vigilant market management.
These initiatives are aimed at sustaining growth momentum and reinforcing market leadership, while navigating ongoing volatility as it enters 2026.
By Tuesday’s midday break, shares in PetDag were down 28 sen or 1.3% at RM20.70, valuing the group at RM20.56 billion.
