KUALA LUMPUR, November 6, 2026 – Maxis Bhd reported an 8.5 per cent rise in net profit for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, to RM447 million from RM412 million a year earlier, helped by higher service revenue and lower costs, The Edge Malaysia reported, citing a bourse filing.
In a post shared on X on Friday, The Edge summarised the result and linked to its full report, “Maxis grows earnings by 8.5% in 3Q, declares 4.5 sen per share dividend”.
Revenue, guidance and dividend
According to The Edge and matching figures in other business outlets and the company’s Bursa Malaysia filing, quarterly revenue rose 3.7 per cent year on year to RM2.68 billion in a quarter that included the launch of Apple’s latest iPhone series and Samsung foldables. Chief executive officer Goh Seow Eng said full-year guidance remained “firmly on track”.
Maxis guided for a “low single-digit” increase in service revenue and in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda), and for capital expenditure of about 10 per cent of total revenue in 2026. An interim dividend of 4.5 sen per share was declared, payable on December 22, bringing the year-to-date total to 12.50 sen.
For the first nine months, net profit totalled RM1.30 billion, up 10.1 per cent from a year earlier, while revenue rose 4.0 per cent to RM8.07 billion. Device revenue surged nearly 15 per cent. Service revenue for the nine months was up 1.1 per cent and Ebitda rose 3.6 per cent, with capital expenditure at RM548 million, The Edge reported.
Share price ahead of the release
The Edge said Maxis shares were down 10 sen, or less than 3 per cent, to RM3.50 before the results during the noon trading break, giving a market capitalisation of about RM27 billion. Business Today and the New Straits Times carried the same RM447 million profit and 4.5 sen dividend figures from the filing.
Maxis is one of Malaysia’s largest mobile network operators. Friday’s numbers are unaudited quarterly results; the company did not change its full-year guidance ranges in the materials cited by The Edge.
