JARDINE Matheson Holdings (JMH) and Jardine Strategic Holdings (JSH) both reported slightly lower earnings for the six months ended June 30.

JMH's underlying profit attributable to shareholders fell 3 per cent year-on-year to US$738 million, reflecting the loss of earnings from Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT) after the group divested its stake in April this year. However, profit surged 152 per cent to US$2.25 billion as the sale of the stake in JLT to Marsh & McLennan reaped a net gain of about US$1.5 billion.
