OSK Research said UMW's 1Q revenue and net profit of RM3.2 billion and RM151.8 million respectively were in line with its and consensus.
'While the group saw revenue growth across all segments and a margin boost from the strengthening RM, the profitability of its O&G division continues to disappoint.
