Pakistan Cables has posted a net profit of Rs 213 million in the first half of fiscal year 2026, reversing a loss of Rs 224 million in the same period last year. The company’s revenue grew modestly by 3% year-on-year to Rs 16.18 billion, reflecting steady demand despite ongoing market challenges.
The gross profit margin declined slightly to 9.9% from 10.5%, primarily due to rising input costs. Cost of sales increased 3.7% to Rs 14.58 billion, while gross profit fell marginally to Rs 1.60 billion.
Total operating expenses rose by 15.1%, driven by higher marketing, selling, distribution, and administrative costs. Meanwhile, finance costs decreased by 11.7% to Rs 1.11 billion, providing relief to the bottom line. Other income also supported the profit, rising 35.7% to Rs 183.3 million.
The company recorded a profit before tax of Rs 257.2 million, highlighting improved financial management and operational efficiency. After accounting for income tax of Rs 43.7 million, Pakistan Cables achieved the reported net profit of Rs 213 million.
This performance signals the company’s ability to navigate rising costs while controlling borrowing expenses and maintaining revenue growth. While Pakistan Cables has not provided future guidance, the results indicate a promising recovery in a competitive market.
