SNS Network positive on industry’s growth


PETALING JAYA: SNS Network Technology Bhd remains positive on the ICT industry and expects artificial intelligence to play a significant role in its growth going forward.

For the second quarter ended July 31, 2024, the group’s net profit was down by 30% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM6.3mil or earnings per share of 0.39 sen.
