Petronas Posts $6.73 Billion H1 Profit on Higher LNG Exports
Malaysia's state-owned energy company recorded a 4% increase in first-half profit after tax, bolstered by stronger LNG outbound shipments and firmer product pricing.
Malaysia's national energy major Petronas registered a four percent year-on-year rise in profit after tax for the first six months of 2026, buoyed by increased commercial activity in its gas business.
The state-owned company achieved approximately $6.73 billion in post-tax profit during the half-year timeframe, reflecting financial growth relative to the performance reported in the first six months of 2025.
Earnings were driven primarily by stronger export volumes of liquefied natural gas, highlighting sustained seaborne gas demand over the course of the period.
Financial returns across the group were further reinforced by firmer realized prices across its broader product portfolio throughout the first half of the year.
