Kuala lumpur: AEON Credit Service (M) Bhd was among the top gainers in early trade today following a strong earnings report for the third quarter ended November 30, 2025 (3Q 2026). At 9.49 am, the company's shares rose 10 sen to RM5.65, with a total of 310,700 shares traded.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, AEON Credit reported that net profit for 3Q 2026 rose to RM91.80 million from RM62.07 million a year earlier. Revenue for the quarter surged to RM622.40 million from RM561.99 million last year, up 10.75 percent, mainly attributable to stronger loan and financing growth.

For the nine months, net profit increased to RM241.58 million from RM239.64 million, while revenue grew to RM1.84 billion from RM1.62 billion previously. Meanwhile, Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd noted that AEON Credit's annualised nine-month financial year 2026 return on equity (ROE) of 11.2 percent remains below its 12.0 percent full-year target.

'However, we opine this is still attainable, provided the group maintains disciplined collection efforts, supported by a stronger 3Q 2026 ROE of 12.7 percent. Therefore, we maintained an 'outperform' call on AEON Credit with a target price of RM6.25 per share,' it said in a note today.
