UWC Bhd reported substantial growth in its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, citing sustained demand in the semiconductor sector as a key driver. The precision engineering firm expressed cautious optimism about its business outlook, underpinned by robust demand from both front-end and back-end semiconductor customers along with the gradual ramp-up of recently secured projects.

For the fourth quarter, UWC’s net profit rose nearly 130% year-on-year to RM37.6 million, with earnings per share reaching 3.41 sen. This improvement was supported by a 71% increase in revenue compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The surge in revenue was attributed to stronger semiconductor demand, ongoing execution of front-end semiconductor projects, and heightened demand for back-end semiconductor equipment. The company also highlighted a shift toward a more favorable product mix, with increased contributions from higher-value offerings helping to absorb operating costs more effectively amid higher business volumes.

Over the full financial year, UWC posted a 132% year-on-year increase in net profit, reaching RM93.84 million, while revenue grew 54% to RM594.89 million. The company’s strategic expansion into higher-precision, mission-critical, and value-added contract manufacturing was cited as a significant factor behind the improved financial performance. This expansion involved extending its capabilities beyond individual component manufacturing to delivering more complex modules, sub-systems, and integrated assemblies.

Following the announcement, UWC’s share price rose by 27 sen to close at RM7.07. The company’s outlook remains cautiously positive as it continues to capitalize on the strength of the semiconductor industry and its broadened manufacturing scope.
