’s net profit more than tripled to RM8.7mil in the second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (2Q26), from RM2.43mil a year earlier, mainly due to product price adjustments.

Quarterly revenue rose 1.9% to RM271.7mil from RM266.7mil, mainly driven by promotional sales of its cellular health product, partially offset by softer consumer demand in other product categories.

Its profit before tax jumped 220.6% to RM11.94mil from RM3.72mil a year ago, mainly attributable to product price adjustments to support the group’s target operating margin.

Earnings per share increased to 5.29 sen from 1.48 sen previously.

The group said the lower revenue in 1H26 was mainly due to continued softer demand, partially mitigated by contributions from the cellular health product

“The market conditions are expected to remain challenging for the remainder of 2026 as consumers continue to exercise caution in their spending,” Amway said.

The group will continue to focus on the health and wellbeing segment, particularly science-backed solutions that support healthy ageing and long-term wellbeing, while adapting its business model to changing consumer preferences.

It also plans disciplined investments to strengthen sales capabilities, support product innovation and enhance its digital and physical infrastructure.
