Sime Darby Plantation announced robust fourth-quarter earnings, with net profit surging 15% year-on-year to RM320 million. This was primarily driven by sustained high crude palm oil prices and improved production efficiency, exceeding analyst expectations for the period.
Sime Darby Plantation Bhd today announced encouraging fourth-quarter results for its 2025 financial year, with net profit surging 15% year-on-year to RM320 million, surpassing market expectations. Revenue also grew by 8% to RM5.15 billion. The company attributed the strong performance primarily to sustained high crude palm oil (CPO) prices, which ranged between RM3,900 and RM4,100 per tonne during the quarter, and improved operational efficiency across its plantations. Despite rising labour costs, increased production and effective cost control measures partially offset these pressures. Looking ahead, the company anticipates CPO prices to remain at healthy levels and plans to continue investing in sustainable practices and automation technologies to further enhance productivity. Investors are optimistic about Sime Darby Plantation's future growth prospects.
