Bursa's 1HFY25 PAT Declines 19% To RM125 Million, Declares 14 sen Dividend
Bursa Malaysia Berhad posted a Profit After Tax, Zakat and Minority Interest of RM125.5 million for the first half ended 30 June 2025. This represents a decrease of 19.3% from RM155.5 million reported for the first half ended 30 June 2024. The Exchange said the lower PATAMI was primarily attributed to 8.1% decrease in operating revenue, to RM344.3 million in 1H2025 from RM374.5 million in 1H2024 Revenue for the second quarter was also down to RM172 million from RM199 million in the preceding year's quarter, and profit after tax declined to RM57 million from RM80 million in 2QFY24. Concurrently, Bursa saw its total operating expenses increase by 6.6% to RM189.3 million in 1H2025, against RM177.6 million in 1H2024, primarily due to higher staff costs and technology-related expenses to support product expansion across asset classes, and capacity building, as well as an increase in administrative and building management expenses. As for the Derivatives Market, the trading revenue saw a notable increase of 8.1% to RM56.1 million in 1H2025 from RM51.9 million in 1H2024, mainly due to higher Average Daily Contracts ('ADC') traded for Crude Palm Oil Futures ('FCPO'). In line with the strategy to grow the derivatives business, the Exchange relaunched Single Stock Futures in 1H2025 with enhanced specifications to broaden its investor base and boost trading the Islamic Market front, operating revenue recorded a 23.0% increase to RM11.0 million in 1H2025 from RM9.0 million in 1H2024, mainly driven by higher Bursa Suq Al-Sila' ('BSAS') trading revenue of RM9.6 million in 1H2025 from RM8.3 million in 1H2024. Trading revenue from Bursa Gold Dinar doubled, to RM1.4 million in 1H2025 from RM0.7 million in 1H2024. Meanwhile, operating revenue from the Data Business segment increased by 6.4% to RM40.5 million in 1H2025 from RM38.0 million in 1H2024, as a result of licensing subscriptions expansion, driven by rising demand for high-quality, actionable data across financial and sustainability domains. Commenting on the market outlook, Bursa CEO Dato' Fad'l Mohamed said, 'Malaysia's capital market remains resilient, supported by strong economic fundamentals, accommodative monetary policies, and clear government policies, which are unlocking growth opportunities in strategic industries.' The Board of Directors has declared an interim dividend of 14.0 sen per share for the financial year ending 31 December 2025. This amounts to RM113.3 million, corresponding to a dividend payout ratio of 90.3%. Related

Bursa Malaysia Berhad Just Missed EPS By 6.2%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next
Bursa Malaysia Berhad (KLSE:BURSA) just released its latest quarterly report and things are not looking great. Results look to have been somewhat negative - revenue fell 4.1% short of analyst estimates at RM184m, and statutory earnings of RM0.085 per share missed forecasts by 6.2%. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year. We've discovered 1 warning sign about Bursa Malaysia Berhad. View them for free. Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus, from the 16 analysts covering Bursa Malaysia Berhad, is for revenues of RM728.4m in 2025. This implies a small 6.5% reduction in Bursa Malaysia Berhad's revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to shrink 9.1% to RM0.34 in the same period. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of RM765.7m and earnings per share (EPS) of RM0.38 in 2025. It's pretty clear that pessimism has reared its head after the latest results, leading to a weaker revenue outlook and a small dip in earnings per share estimates. Check out our latest analysis for Bursa Malaysia Berhad The consensus price target fell 11% to RM8.07, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. There are some variant perceptions on Bursa Malaysia Berhad, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at RM9.33 and the most bearish at RM6.75 per share. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Bursa Malaysia Berhad shareholders. Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. Over the past five years, revenues have declined around 0.3% annually. Worse, forecasts are essentially predicting the decline to accelerate, with the estimate for an annualised 8.5% decline in revenue until the end of 2025. Compare this against analyst estimates for companies in the broader industry, which suggest that revenues (in aggregate) are expected to grow 7.4% annually. So while a broad number of companies are forecast to grow, unfortunately Bursa Malaysia Berhad is expected to see its revenue affected worse than other companies in the industry. The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business. With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year.
