  "account": "Oriental Kopi Holdings Bhd experienced a decline in net profit by five percent, reaching RM17 million in the third quarter (Q3) ended June 30, 2026, compared to RM17.95 million the previous year. Factors contributing to this decrease include increased costs for raw materials and store operations, alongside the impact of higher expenses related to expansion efforts. Despite this, the company's revenue saw a significant increase of 34.2 percent, reaching RM156.63 million from RM116.75 million in the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by the expansion of its café chain and the company's distribution and retail business for packaged food products.\n\nFor the nine months period ending September 30, 2026 (9M2026), Oriental Kopi's net profit rose by nine percent to RM49.08 million from RM44.86 million a year earlier. Revenue also increased by 39 percent to RM443.08 million from RM317.75 million in the same period. Despite the profit dip in Q3, the company remains optimistic about its future prospects. This optimism is backed by the company's competitive advantages, strategic business initiatives, and favorable market conditions within the food and beverages (F&B) services sector as well as in the distribution and retailing of its packaged food brand. The company remains confident in its business growth in the forthcoming financial year, anticipating continued improvements in both revenue and profitability.",
