Lay Hong Posts RM279 Million Revenue in 1QFY27 as Profit Hits RM10 Million

Market Impact

Lay Hong Bhd reported a first-quarter revenue of RM279 million for fiscal year 2027 (1QFY27), alongside a profit of RM10 million, as growth in its food manufacturing segment offset declines in live chicken sales. The integrated livestock farming (ILF) segment saw revenue dip 1.52% to RM198.68 million due to lower average selling prices for live chicken, while the food manufacturing (FM) segment surged 20.86% to RM81.32 million.

Malaysian investors reacted cautiously to the mixed results, with Lay Hong’s shares trading relatively flat following the announcement. Analysts noted that while the FM segment’s strong growth signals diversification benefits, sustained pressure on poultry prices remains a near-term concern for the ILF division.

Details not yet available on segment-wise profit contributions or cost pressures in the latest quarter. Lay Hong’s revenue breakdown showed the ILF segment contributing 71% of total sales, down from 76% in the same period last year, reflecting the shift toward higher-value food products. The FM segment’s expansion was driven by increased demand for processed poultry and value-added products.

Looking ahead, Lay Hong aims to leverage its food manufacturing growth to cushion volatility in the livestock segment. The company plans to expand its product portfolio and explore export opportunities, though no specific targets have been disclosed. Analysts expect further updates on margin trends and capital expenditure plans when Lay Hong releases its full-year outlook.
