  "summary": "Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) reported a net profit of RM888.8 million for the second quarter of FY26, a 23.3% decrease from RM1.16 billion in the same period last year. The decline was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and higher operating expenses, despite strong commercial power demand driving an 8.3% increase in group revenue to RM18.24 billion. TNB approved an interim dividend of 25.0 sen per share, amounting to RM1.46 billion in total payouts. The company also highlighted its commitment to accelerating capital expenditures in infrastructure modernisation and green energy projects to meet long-term energy requirements.",
