DPS Resources Berhad (“DPS” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended 30 June 2026 (“Q1FY2027”), recording a net profit of RM2.25 million, representing an increase of 44.4% compared with RM1.56 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year (“Q1FY2026”).
For Q1FY2027, the Group recorded revenue of RM11.58 million, compared with RM12.79 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Despite the lower revenue, DPS achieved a higher gross profit of RM4.00 million, compared with RM3.72 million previously, while profit before tax increased to RM2.25 million from RM1.56 million. Basic earnings per share also improved to 0.84 sen from 0.59 sen.
The lower revenue was primarily due to reduced contribution from the property development, construction and rental of building with comprehensive services segment. This was partially offset by stronger contribution from the furniture segment, which recorded revenue of RM8.07 million in Q1FY2027, compared with RM0.37 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
During the quarter under review, the furniture segment recorded segment profit of RM2.26 million, compared with a segment loss of RM0.54 million previously. The Group’s overall performance was also supported by enhanced cost controls and improved operational efficiency, which contributed to higher gross profit despite the lower top-line performance.
Compared with the immediate preceding quarter (“Q4FY2026”), DPS recorded a decrease in revenue of RM1.46 million. However, gross profit improved to RM4.00 million from RM2.23 million, representing an increase of RM1.77 million, while the Group returned to a profit before tax of RM2.25 million from a loss before tax of RM0.75 million in the immediate preceding quarter.
Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Sow Chin Chuan, Group Chairman and Founder of DPS Resources Berhad, said,
“The improvement in profitability for Q1FY2027 reflects DPS’ continued focus on operational efficiency and cost management. While revenue was affected by timing differences in contributions from the property development and construction segments, the Group delivered stronger gross profit and higher profit before tax during the quarter. We remain focused on strengthening our project pipeline and progressing our development initiatives in a disciplined manner, as we believe these efforts will support sustained operational performance and create long-term value for shareholders.”
Moving forward, DPS remains cautiously optimistic about its prospects as it advances initiatives to repurpose selected factory facilities for data centre operations and develop high-technology infrastructure in Melaka. The Group continues to progress its proposed AI-driven Data Centre and High-Tech Park in Mukim Lendu, Alor Gajah, comprising approximately 345 acres with proposed power capacity of up to 500MW to 1GW, as well as its proposed Bukit Rambai data centre, which covers approximately 20 acres and has proposed power capacity of 89MW, with potential expansion of up to 400MW, subject to the necessary technical, regulatory and commercial considerations.
The Group has also strengthened its data centre pipeline through strategic collaborations with BBSB Holdings Sdn. Bhd., Hangyue Intelligent Electrical Co., Ltd. and CEIG (M) Sdn. Bhd., covering data centre capacity, potential Chinese enterprise colocation, renewable energy, power and water infrastructure. These initiatives are supported by ongoing engagement with relevant authorities and infrastructure providers, including Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Syarikat Air Melaka Berhad and the Melaka State Government.
Beyond data centres, DPS continues to advance its property development portfolio, including the Taman Bukit Rambai Putra Gateway commercial hub. Through disciplined execution, prudent cost management and strategic partnerships, the Group remains focused on diversifying its revenue streams, strengthening earnings visibility and creating long-term value for shareholders.
