Maxis Bhd reported a 9.5% increase in net profit to RM436 million in the second quarter ending June 30, 2026, as compared to RM398 million in the same period last year. Revenue also grew by 3.91% to RM2.66 billion from RM2.56 billion. The mobile operator attributed the strong performance to a 2.2% rise in service revenue to RM2.25 billion, and a 2.7% increase in Ebitda to RM1.12 billion.

For the first six months, net profit climbed to RM853 million from RM769 million a year earlier, while revenue reached RM5.39 billion from RM5.17 billion. Maxis CEO Goh Seow Eng stated that the results demonstrated the company's commitment to steady top-line growth and operating discipline to boost profitability. The board declared an interim dividend of four sen per share, maintaining a stable dividend payout.

Goh emphasized that Maxis' full-year guidance remains unchanged, with low single-digit growth in service revenue and Ebitda, and capital expenditure intensity between 10% and 12%. The company remains focused on leveraging its integrated network to create value for consumers and businesses, while delivering sustainable long-term growth for shareholders.
