IOI Corporation Bhd announced better-than-expected quarterly net profit, driven by sustained higher crude palm oil (CPO) prices and effective cost management. The positive earnings report highlights the resilience of the plantation sector amidst global commodity market fluctuations, boosting investor confidence in the company's outlook.
IOI Corporation Bhd today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2025, reporting a net profit of RM450 million, surpassing market expectations. This robust performance was primarily driven by sustained higher crude palm oil (CPO) prices and the company's effective cost management strategies. Profit increased by 15% compared to the same period last year. The company stated that both its plantation and downstream specialty fats businesses performed well. Despite global economic challenges, stable demand for edible oils and limited supply have supported palm oil prices.

This earnings report boosted market confidence in the plantation sector, with IOI shares seeing a modest gain of 0.8% today.
