The ANSA McAL Group de­liv­ered a sharp in­crease in first-half prof­itabil­i­ty, re­port­ing prof­it af­ter tax of $297.6 mil­lion for the six months end­ed June 30, a 44.4 per cent in­crease from $206.1 mil­lion in the cor­re­spond­ing pe­ri­od last year. The con­glom­er­ate said stronger trad­ing, strate­gic as­set sales and low­er fi­nance costs boost­ed earn­ings.

Prof­it at­trib­ut­able to eq­ui­ty­hold­ers climbed 50 per cent to $257.8 mil­lion from $171.8 mil­lion, lift­ing ba­sic earn­ings per share to $1.50 from $1.00 a year ear­li­er.

Rev­enue al­so reached a new high, ris­ing three per cent to $3.79 bil­lion, com­pared with TT$3.69 bil­lion in the first six months of 2025, dri­ven by growth across al­most all of the group’s re­gion­al mar­kets.
