Bermaz Auto (MYL5248OO009) reported RM40.51 million in net profit for 1QFY2027, up from RM8.28 million in the year-earlier quarter. The result gives the Malaysian auto distributor a stronger earnings base as new Mazda models enter the market.

Profit rebound resets FY2027

According to The Edge Malaysia on September 10, 2026, revenue rose 12.58 percent to RM553.08 million in the quarter ended July 31, 2026, from RM491.28 million in 1QFY2026. The company attributed the increase mainly to higher domestic Mazda sales, especially the Mazda 3.

The earnings mix also improved. Share of results from associates moved to a profit of RM1.06 million from a loss of RM9.32 million in the comparable quarter, while the group declared MYR 0.02 per share for FY2027, with entitlement on October 20 and payment on November 4, 2026.

Analysts raise their targets

As The Edge Malaysia reported on September 11, 2026, RHB Research upgraded Bermaz Auto from Neutral to Buy and lifted its target price from RM1.00 to RM1.15. Public Investment Bank raised its target from RM0.82 to RM1.28 and moved from Neutral to Outperform, while MBSB Research retained Neutral with an RM0.85 target.

RHB said core profit of RM42 million represented 33 percent to 35 percent of its full-year and market estimates. Its operating assumptions include an order backlog of 1,700 Mazda units and 600 bookings for the third-generation CX-5 ahead of its October 8, 2026 launch.

The recovery case still faces pressure from aggressive Chinese-brand pricing and discounting. The Edge said Bermaz Auto described inventory overhang and a disorderly pricing environment as continuing risks, while the Philippines business and lower Kia volumes remain important factors for future margins.

Market value and dividend dates

Bermaz Auto's market capitalization was MYR 1.0 billion as of October 6, 2026. Its 52-week range was MYR 0.50 to MYR 1.12, and trading volume for that session was 1,502,200 shares. The figures leave the earnings rebound competing with a market still focused on execution.

The company is listed on Bursa Malaysia under ticker BAUTO. The next concrete checkpoints are the CX-5 launch on October 8, the dividend entitlement date on October 20 and the MYR 0.02 per-share payment on November 4, 2026.
