$SNS (0259.MY)$: SNS Network Technology has secured a RM85.52 million purchase order from a leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan for artificial intelligence (AI) super servers.

SNS Network Technology MD Ko Yun Hung said the latest purchase order was just the beginning for the company, which is on track to meet its AI hardware sales targets for the year.

Despite the weaker quarter, the board of directors approved a first interim single-tier dividend of 25 sen per share for FY25, to be paid out on Aug 28, 2024.
