Cypark Resources Bhd’s net profit rose 2.98% to RM14.98 million for the first quarter ended Jan 31, 2021 from RM14.55 million a year ago, on the back of interest cost savings and lower staff expenses. Revenue fell 15.84% to RM76.48 million from RM90.88 million previously, mainly due to the continuous impact on the group’s work progress at sites as a result of complying with the various Movement Control Orders in different States.

MCE Holdings Bhd said its wholly-owned subsidiary Multi-Code Electronics Industries (M) Bhd has secured contracts to supply various mechanical parts for new Toyota car models. The car parts manufacturer said it expects the supply of the parts to commence in the fourth quarter ending July 31, 2022 for a duration of six years.

Widad Group Bhd saw a smaller quarterly loss of RM488,000 or 0.02 sen per share for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2020 from RM6.12 million or 0.25 sen per share a year earlier, supported by a swing to tax gains. This was despite revenue falling 65.22% to RM23.94 million from RM68.84 million previously, due to lower recognition of revenue for the existing project under the construction segment, while contribution from its integrated facilities management rose.

Berjaya Corp Bhd’s CEO Abdul Jalil Abdul Rasheed has bought an additional 66 million shares, raising his stake in the loss-making diversified group to 2.71% or 136 million shares.

Sunway Bhd’s net profit rose 5% to RM193.07 million in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2020, from RM183.47 million a year earlier, thanks to the recognition of a balance of development profits of RM182.5 million. Quarterly revenue declined 6% to RM1.28 billion from RM1.35 billion in the previous year’s corresponding quarter, underpinned by lower contribution from the group's property development, property investment and quarry segments.

Boustead Holdings Bhd's net loss narrowed by 69% to RM352.3 million in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2020 from RM1.13 billion in the previous year’s corresponding quarter, as the group reported lower impairment of property, plant and equipment of RM159.3 million.
