AI Market Summary
KPJ Healthcare reported strong 2Q26 results, with net profit up 27% and revenue up 17%, driven by higher patient volumes, increased surgeries and a shift toward higher-acuity cases that lifted margins. Investments in technology and capacity expansion weighed modestly on EBITDA margin, but occupancy improved and health tourism grew.
