Diversification plan and maiden project in Kuantan

As reported by The Edge Malaysia, Propel Global will seek shareholder approval to diversify its business into property development following the launch of its first commercial project in Pahang.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said its property development business is expected to contribute more than 25% of the group's net profit in the future. Its subsidiary, Propel Global Development Sdn Bhd, began earthworks in June for a riverside commercial shoplot project in Kuantan with a gross development value of RM64 million.

Financial pressure drives new growth avenues

The diversification effort comes as Propel Global's financial performance remains under pressure. The company's net loss widened to RM27.2 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2026, from RM24.2 million a year earlier, as all its business segments grew more slowly.

The decline was mainly due to lower progress billings from engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning projects in the oil and gas segment, as well as reduced mechanical and electrical maintenance work. Revenue fell nearly 28% to RM80.4 million.

Propel Global shares were last traded at six sen apiece, giving the company a market capitalisation of RM51.97 million.
