According to a report from New Strait Times, Scicom’s net profit and revenue rose 58.2 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively, marking the company’s highest stock level in nearly three years.
BPO segment powers earnings growth

The company reported that earnings growth was driven by its BPO segment, which benefited from increased activity among existing clients and the acquisition of new contracts.
The BPO division contributed RM12.2 million (US$2.95 million) in year-on-year gains, underpinned by higher volumes, better pricing from existing customers, and a newly secured BPO project.
The strong performance reflects the company’s ability to capitalize on both existing client relationships and fresh contracts, reinforcing its position in the global outsourcing market.
