KUALA LUMPUR: Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd's net profit rose 73.2 per cent to RM197.51 million in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2026 (Q3 FY26), from RM114.04 million a year ago.

The group attributed this to higher sales, some softening in commodity costs and a continued focus on operational efficiencies and digitalisation initiatives.

Nestle Malaysia's quarterly revenue increased 5.7 per cent to RM1.86 billion from RM1.76 billion a year ago.

Stronger domestic demand across key product categories drove this, supported by continued innovation and effective commercial execution.
