Maxis Berhad stock (ISIN MYL6012OO008) was last at MYR 3.51 on Bursa Malaysia on October 6, 2026, down 0.28 percent from the previous close. The company also introduced a mission-critical communications service for first responders, according to HeadTopics on October 6, 2026.

Enterprise service targets emergencies

The new Maxis Business solution combines voice, live video and data with network priority across the company's nationwide mobile network. The service was showcased at Cyber Digital Services, Defence and Security Asia 2026 for government, defense and enforcement stakeholders.

The launch broadens Maxis's enterprise proposition beyond standard connectivity. It gives frontline teams a dedicated communications link to central command centers, making network reliability and secure business services more important drivers than consumer subscriber growth alone.

First-half profit rises 10.9 percent

Maxis reported first-half 2026 net profit of MYR 853 million, up 10.9 percent from MYR 769 million in the prior-year period, while revenue increased 4.2 percent to MYR 5.39 billion from MYR 5.17 billion, according to The Edge on October 6, 2026.

Consumer business revenue grew 2.5 percent and enterprise revenue advanced 3.7 percent in the first half. Maxis kept its full-year guidance for low single-digit service-revenue and EBITDA growth, with capital-expenditure intensity of 10 percent to 12 percent.

The operating improvement has not removed the sector's main risk. The Star reported on September 15, 2026, that Kenanga Research rated Maxis Market Perform with a MYR 3.70 target and viewed Digital Nasional Berhad's future financial impact as a key uncertainty.

Analyst target stays above market

The consensus compiled by Investing.com is Buy from 18 analysts, including 7 Buy ratings, 11 Hold ratings and 0 Sell ratings. The average 12-month target is MYR 4.00, with a MYR 3.30 low and MYR 5.10 high, putting the average target 13.96 percent above the MYR 3.51 price.

That spread gives the shares a clear valuation checkpoint, but it is not a forecast guarantee. Investors are weighing improving first-half profitability against 5G wholesale costs, DNB-related earnings exposure and the competitive Malaysian telecom market.

Maxis stock stays below yearly high

Maxis stock stood 19.5 percent below its MYR 4.36 52-week high and 9.0 percent above its MYR 3.22 low on October 6, 2026. Market capitalization was MYR 27.5 billion and trading volume was 982,900 shares on the same date.
