Credit Bureau Asia Limited (CBA) posted net profit before tax of S$16 million for the half year ended Jun 30 2026, up 4% year-on-year, supported by steady demand for its credit- and risk-information services across Southeast Asia.

Group revenue rose 3% YoY to S$31 million, while profit after tax and minority interest inched 2% higher to S$5.5 million. The board declared an interim dividend of 2.2 Singapore cents a share, a 10% increase from the prior-year interim payout; the company did not disclose a payment date.

By segment, the Financial Institutions (FI) Data arm lifted both revenue and pre-tax profit by 4%, underpinned by continued expansion at Credit Bureau Singapore and a rebound in Cambodia, with Myanmar operations also improving. The non-FI Data division registered a 1% rise in revenue and a 3% increase in pre-tax earnings as clients adjusted to global trade policy shifts.

Management highlighted lingering macroeconomic uncertainty but said the group remains “cautiously optimistic” about growth prospects for the remainder of 2026, citing ongoing recovery in regional credit markets and momentum in its non-FI Data services.
