Kuala Lumpur, 27 October 2026 – Nestlé (Malaysia) Bhd reported a 73% year-on-year rise in third-quarter net profit to RM197.51 million for the three months ended 30 September 2026, while revenue increased 5.3% to RM1.86 billion. The Malaysian food and beverage group also declared a second interim dividend of 80 sen per share, up from 60 sen a year earlier.

The results matter to investors because they combine stronger quarterly earnings with a higher cash distribution, while extending growth across the first nine months of the financial year. Net profit for the nine months reached RM557.64 million, up 44% from a year earlier, and revenue rose 6.7% to RM5.55 billion. These are reported results; whether the pace can continue will depend on demand, costs and execution through the final quarter.
