PETALING JAYA: P.A. Resources Bhd has posted a lower profit of RM3.43mil for the second quarter ended Dec 31, 2025 compared to the RM10.05mil for the same quarter a year ago.

In a filing to the stock exchange, the aluminum extruder company said however, its revenue for the quarter saw a 34.6% year-on-year increase at RM147.99mil, driven by higher sales orders.
