KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia Bhd reported a lower net profit of RM63.85 million for the third quarter ending Sept 30, 2025 (3Q 2025), compared to RM85.74 million in the same quarter of the previous year.

“Total comprehensive income for 3Q 2025 was at RM63.4 million, a decrease of 25.3 per cent compared to RM84.9 million in 3Q 2024, mainly due to lower profit recorded in 3Q 2025,” it said in an exchange filing today.

Bursa Malaysia said the securities market segment posted a profit of RM93.8 million in 3Q 2025, a 22.4 per cent decrease from RM120.9 million in the same period last year, due to lower operating revenue.

It said the segment’s revenue in the quarter stood at RM118.9 million, down from RM147.3 million in 3Q 2024.

“The segment’s expense decreased by 5.4 per cent to RM28 million in 3Q 2025 compared to RM29.6 million in 3Q 2024, mainly due to lower staff costs incurred in 3Q 2025,” it said.

Meanwhile, it said the derivatives market segment registered a higher profit of RM12.2 million in the quarter under review, compared to RM12 million in the corresponding quarter a year ago.

For the cumulative nine months of 2025 (9M 2025), Bursa Malaysia’s net profit slipped to RM189.33 million from RM241.22 million a year earlier, while revenue also fell to RM536.86 million from RM598.39 million previously.

The exchange said the moderation in its financial performance in 9M 2025 was mainly due to a 25 per cent decline in trading revenue from the securities market segment to RM225.2 million from RM300.3 million in 9M 2024.

“This was attributable to a 25.6 per cent drop in average daily trading value for on-market trades to RM2.5 billion, from RM3.4 billion during the period under review,” it said.

Moving forward, Bursa Malaysia said it remains focused on advancing its strategy to be a multi-asset exchange.

“Immediate key priorities include strengthening its position as the preferred fundraising platform for businesses to support Malaysia’s economic growth, enhancing market vibrancy and liquidity, and unlocking new opportunities in the data business.

“The exchange will be guided by its latest headline key performance indicators for 2025, while continuing to monitor global developments and their impact on the market,” it added.
