Malaysia's Maybank earnings climb despite lower revenue

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia's largest lender, Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank), has reported slightly higher earnings despite falling revenue in the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2025.

Maybank said in a bourse filing on Thursday that its net profit for the year climbed 4.2 percent year-on-year to 10.51 billion ringgit (2.7 billion U.S. dollars), underpinned by steady income growth, disciplined cost management and resilient asset quality.

Its revenue for the year, however, slipped 3.73 percent year-on-year to 66.37 billion ringgit.

"While global uncertainties persist, domestic demand across our home markets continues to provide underlying support," Maybank chairman Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa said.

"The board remains focused on ensuring that Maybank is well-positioned to navigate evolving conditions with sound governance, financial resilience and sustainable growth at its core, raising the ceiling by enabling businesses and economies to unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation," he added. (1 ringgit equals 0.26 U.S. dollar)
