Malaysian companies have grown far beyond our borders, serving international markets and building businesses that make the country proud. Behind their familiar names are years of ambition, hard work and growth. But how much daily revenue do some of Malaysia’s biggest companies generate?
Here is a closer look at five names that reveal the remarkable scale and reach of Malaysian business.
Understanding The Daily Revenue Figures
To put these numbers into perspective, we divided each company’s reported annual group revenue by 365 days. The graphic below compares the five companies, arranged from highest to lowest daily revenue.
These figures represent average revenue before expenses, rather than profit or actual sales on a particular day.
Here is a closer look at the businesses behind those numbers.
1. PETRONAS
Yearly Revenue: RM266.1 billion
Daily Revenue: Approximately RM729.04 million
Financial Year Ended: 31 December 2025
A visit to a PETRONAS station offers only a small glimpse of Malaysia’s national energy company.
Its operations cover the energy supply chain, from exploring for and producing oil and gas to refining crude oil and selling petroleum products. The group also supplies liquefied natural gas, which can be transported by ship to international markets.
Its revenue therefore reflects a global energy business, extending far beyond fuel sales at Malaysian petrol stations. Spread evenly across the year, its annual figure is equivalent to approximately RM30.38 million an hour.
However, even a company of this size faces changing market conditions. PETRONAS reported lower revenue in 2025 amid lower selling prices, reduced sales volumes, foreign exchange effects and the divestment of the Engen Group.
Its scale is extraordinary, but its performance remains closely connected to global energy demand and prices.
2. Sime Darby Berhad
Yearly Revenue: Approximately RM69.5 billion
Daily Revenue: Approximately RM190.41 million
Financial Year Ended: 30 June 2026
A car leaving a showroom and a heavy machine arriving at a worksite may appear unrelated. For Sime Darby Berhad, both contribute to the same broad business.
The group, which uses the brand name Sime, operates across automotive and industrial equipment markets.
Sime Motors imports, assembles, distributes and sells vehicles. Sime Industrial supplies heavy equipment and related services, while Sime UMW contributes through automotive, equipment and manufacturing operations.
Together, these businesses serve individuals purchasing vehicles and companies investing in machinery and equipment.
Distribution networks, servicing and customer support also contribute to its operations across the Asia Pacific region. Its size shows how a Malaysian company can build a substantial regional presence by meeting the needs of both consumers and industry.
3. Tenaga Nasional Berhad
Yearly Revenue: RM67.72 billion
Daily Revenue: Approximately RM185.54 million
Financial Year Ended: 31 December 2025
Before a café serves its first coffee or a factory begins production, the power needs to come on.
Tenaga Nasional Berhad supports that daily activity through electricity generation, transmission, distribution and retail.
Behind each electricity bill is a network of power plants, cables, substations and people working to deliver electricity to customers.
That network supports far more than household convenience. Restaurants depend on refrigeration, offices need computers, and manufacturers require reliable power to keep production moving.
TNB identified higher electricity sales and the implementation of its approved tariff framework among the factors supporting its 2025 performance.
Its business reflects the enormous scale of supplying a service that underpins everyday life and economic growth.
4. YTL Corporation
Yearly Revenue: RM31.61 billion
Daily Revenue: Approximately RM86.61 million
Financial Year Ended: 30 June 2026
Electricity, water, cement and hotels belong to different industries, but they all contribute to YTL Corporation’s business.
The group operates across utilities, cement and building materials, construction, property and hospitality, giving it several sources of revenue in different markets.
Its international presence helps explain its scale. Through YTL Power, the group generates electricity in Singapore and provides water and sewerage services in the United Kingdom. It is also expanding its data centre activities.
These operations bring together established infrastructure services and newer opportunities in the digital economy.
YTL reported a 3% increase in annual revenue for FY2026. Its growth illustrates how Malaysian enterprise can reach international customers by developing expertise in services that people and businesses depend on.
5. Genting Berhad
Yearly Revenue: Approximately RM27.7 billion
Daily Revenue: Approximately RM75.89 million
Financial Year Ended: 31 December 2025
For many Malaysians, Genting brings to mind a drive up the mountains, cool weather and a holiday above the clouds. The wider group reaches much further.
Genting Berhad has businesses in leisure and hospitality, plantations, property and energy. Its Resorts World presence includes destinations in Malaysia, Singapore and the United States.
Its revenue therefore extends beyond visitors to Genting Highlands. It reflects a wider portfolio of resorts and other businesses operating across several markets.
Group revenue remained broadly stable in 2025. Genting noted that the stronger ringgit reduced the value of contributions from foreign operations when translated into Malaysian currency.
From a destination familiar to generations of Malaysians, Genting has developed into an international business group with a reach far beyond its mountain setting.
What Daily Revenue Reveals About Malaysian Business
These companies show how Malaysian businesses have built substantial operations in energy, electricity, automotive distribution, infrastructure and tourism.
Their daily revenue gives us a clearer sense of that scale. Individual purchases, essential services and industrial transactions add up across extensive networks to produce billions in annual revenue.
But revenue is only one measure of a business. Operating expenses, financing costs and taxes determine how much ultimately becomes profit. The figures reveal size, while profit and cash flow help explain financial strength.
Editor’s Note: This article compares five selected major Malaysian non-bank companies and is not a definitive national top-five ranking. Average daily revenue is calculated using reported annual group revenue divided by 365 days. Financial years differ as shown, and group figures include overseas operations where applicable.
