KUALA LUMPUR: Chin Hin Group Bhd expressed confidence in its 2026 outlook, supported by strong earnings visibility, ongoing capacity expansion initiatives, and disciplined execution across its integrated intra-build ecosystem.
Heading into 2026, the group is well-positioned for sustained momentum, underpinned by RM2.3 billion in unbilled property sales, a RM1.72 billion construction order book, and a RM1.14 billion order book in its home & living segment.
These pipelines provide clear revenue visibility across multiple divisions and reinforce Chin Hin’s ability to deliver consistent growth.
Key growth drivers in 2026 include the completion and acceleration of strategic capacity expansions in the building materials sector.
The group’s third AAC plant in Serendah, a RM80 million investment, is on track for completion and will feature the world’s largest single AAC production line, boasting a total AAC capacity of 2.2 million cubic metres annually.
In tandem, Drymix Line C, commissioned in August 2025, is expected to enhance margins and operational efficiency in the coming year.
The group anticipates growing momentum for CoolPro, its integrated energy-efficient building solution, as sustainability and OTTV compliance continue to influence construction and development decisions.
In addition, Chin Hin’s strategic joint venture with PTT Synergy Bhd to develop smart, sustainable logistics infrastructure under the PTT–Chin Hin Smart Logistic Hub platform positions the group to capitalise on rising demand for Industry 4.0-ready industrial assets.
These forward-looking initiatives build on a solid foundation laid in 2025, a year marked by strong operational execution and portfolio optimisation.
For the first nine months of FY25, Chin Hin delivered revenue of RM2.98 billion, up 32% year-on-year, while profit before tax rose 19% to RM199.7 million, reflecting broad-based contributions from property development, construction, building materials and home & living solutions.
Property development emerged as a key growth engine during the year, driven by steady progress across landmark projects including Dawn, Ayanna, Avantro, Quaver, Crown, Andalan, Aricia and Botanica Hills.
The construction division recorded strong revenue growth driven by accelerated internal project execution.
At the same time, Signature International Bhd capitalised on steady demand for premium home solutions to maintain solid performance.
Beyond financial performance, the group sharpened its strategic focus in 2025 through selective divestments of non-core assets, strengthening its balance sheet and channelling capital into higher-growth, higher-return segments.
Chin Hin also accelerated group-wide digitalisation initiatives and reinforced its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda with product innovation and people-centric programmes.
This sustained emphasis on sustainability and responsible business practices has also translated into external recognition.
In 2025, two of the group’s listed entities — Ajiya Bhd and Signature International — achieved inclusion in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index, a globally recognised benchmark for companies with strong ESG standards.
Chin Hin group managing director Datuk Wira Chiau Haw Choon said that as the company enters 2026, the focus is clear: to translate strategy into seamless execution, drive scalability, and build resilience.
“We have built a strong foundation, and now we are poised to accelerate growth. With clear visibility across property, construction, building materials and home and living, we are confident in moving forward decisively.
“2025 was about strengthening our base, 2026 is about unlocking the next phase of sustainable, disciplined growth, while rigorously managing capital, risk and ESG commitments,” he said.
With a diversified earnings base, strong order visibility and strategic initiatives aligned to long-term industry trends, Chin Hin is well-positioned to navigate evolving market conditions and deliver sustainable value in 2026 and beyond.
