KOTA DAMANSARA: JF Technology Bhd, a main market-listed leading innovator and manufacturer of high-performance test contacting and interface solutions for global integrated circuit (IC) makers, is now in a better position to become a one-stop centre for test solutions as it is now in the higher value test equipment space, on top of test consumables.
Apart from that, JF Technology has also concluded five corporate exercises over the past six months as it continues to expand horizontally, and is now positioning itself to build on its record-breaking Q1’26 performance while leveraging the favourable industry outlook.
Concluding its 19th AGM yesterday, JF Technology paid a dividend of 0.25 sen per share in FY25, reflecting a payout ratio of 65.2%.
Speaking after the AGM, group managing director Datuk Foong Wei Kuong said it has been a couple of challenging years for the group, shaped by the industry cycle and broader macroeconomic conditions.
“Against this backdrop, we are especially pleased to have begun FY26 on a solid footing with our record quarterly top-line performance.
“We view this as a potential inflexion point as we forge ahead towards the promising opportunities on the horizon while riding on the global semiconductor market expansion.
“At the same time, we are also continuously enhancing our capabilities via mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Over the past 6 months, we have concluded 5 corporate exercises to grow horizontally and vertically within the semiconductor industry test ecosystem.
