Axiata Group Bhd's pre-tax profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 rose to RM1.011 billion from RM1.010 billion registered in the same quarter last year.
Revenue increased 9.3 per cent to RM4.402 billion, during the period under review, versus RM4.048 billion chalked up in the first six months of last year.
President and Group Chief Executive Officer Datuk Seri Jamaludin Ibrahim said the higher revenue was mainly due to strong growth seen across all major operating companies.

On a yearly basis, Axiata recorded a slightly higher pre-tax profit of RM1.916 billion from RM1.913 billion registered in the first half of last year.
Revenue was up nine per cent at RM8.68 billion, during the period under review, from RM7.99 billion recorded in the same period last year. -- Bernama
Ya, Axiata made billions in profit. Can boast about many brands in so many countries. But despite all these the share price is not moving today. Why? I think investors do not think highly of Axiata, not progressive enough. Digi's valuation is sky high, but it still moving UP. To investors Digi is dynamic, paying dividends and also many rounds of capital repayments. This is what investors want. Come on Axiata, BOD and the Management, wake up, don't just sit pretty in your ivory tower.
