Bursa Malaysia has reported a net profit for the first half of 2026, demonstrating resilience in a fluctuating market. This figure represents a notable increase in net profit for the second quarter, compared to the same period last year, according to multiple sources including Utusan and Malay Mail.

The increase in profits is attributed to a combination of higher trading volumes and improved market sentiment.
