Hong Leong Fin (ISIN MYL1082OO006) last traded at MYR 18.90 on Bursa Malaysia on September 28, 2026, up MYR 0.18 or 0.96 percent from the prior close. The latest full-year figures give the stock a clear earnings and dividend anchor.

FY2026 profit reaches MYR 3.43 billion

According to BernamaBiz on August 27, 2026, Hong Leong Financial Group reported net profit of MYR 3.43 billion for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. That compared with MYR 3.25 billion in FY2025, representing a 5.50 percent increase.

The comparison matters because the earnings improvement came across the group's businesses, according to the same FY2026 report. The result positions profitability, rather than a single trading session, as the central reference point for assessing Hong Leong Fin stock.

Dividend rises from MYR 0.72

The Edge Malaysia reported on September 28, 2026, that Hong Leong Financial Group declared a MYR 0.57 final dividend on August 27, taking the FY2026 total to MYR 0.79 per share from MYR 0.72 in FY2025. The increase adds a second measurable change to the earnings story.

The payout also gives investors a concrete shareholder-return metric alongside the MYR 3.43 billion profit figure. A higher distribution can support the stock's income profile, while the sustainability of future payouts remains tied to earnings and cash generation.
