AEM H1 profit jumps ninefold on AI testing demand

Revenue rose nearly 30%, supported by higher sales to its fabless AI/HPC customer.

AEM Holdings Ltd’s net profit surged 875.6% year on year to $30.8m in the first half, from $3.2m a year earlier.

Group revenue rose nearly 30% to $247.2m, supported by a 191.7% jump in revenue from the group’s fabless AI/HPC customer and higher contribution from Test Cell Solutions (TCS).

TCS revenue grew 52.5% to $180.9m due to the deployments of AEM’s testing solutions for advanced artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications.

The Contract Manufacturing (CM) segment recorded $63.2m in external revenue, down 5.7% amidst softer external demand from oil and gas customers.

CM’s inter-segment revenue, however, jumped 363.6%, as the segment supported the production ramp of the group’s AMPS platform for the TCS business.

Net profit margin rose to 12.5% from 1.7%. profit before tax increased to $38.2m from $3.9m, whilst its margin widened by 13.4 percentage points to 15.5%.

Earnings per share increased to 9.7 cents from 0.98 cents. The group declared an interim dividend of 2.4 cents per share, payable on 8 September.

Meanwhile, AEM raised its FY2026 revenue guidance to $630m to $680m, from its previous forecast of $550m to $600m.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
