OSK Holdings Bhd’s net profit for its fourth quarter of financial year 2023 fell 19.29% to RM97.8 million from RM121.17 million a year earlier, despite higher revenue, as its bottom line was crimped by higher tax expenses and cost of sales, and lower share of profits from its associates and a joint venture (JV).

Property developer Mah Sing Group Bhd said on Tuesday its net profit climbed 38% in the fourth quarter of 2023 from a year earlier, thanks largely to higher margin and lower net finance costs.
