Cypark Resources Bhd's net profit for its second quarter ended April 30, 2021 slid 2.55% to RM18.03 million from RM18.5 million a year ago, as a slowdown in its consecution and engineering division more than offset the additional work progress recognised from its waste-to-energy projects. The weaker bottom line came despite revenue jumping 13.49% to RM85.97 million, from RM75.75 million, as the RE segment saw improved work progress for large-scale solar projects, coupled with a significant jump from its WTE segment.
