Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited (HCAR) has announced its financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025 (3QFY26), reporting improved profitability on the back of higher sales volumes and better cost absorption.

For the quarter, the company posted a profit after tax of Rs655.5 million, up from Rs566.4 million in the same period last year. Earnings per share increased to Rs4.59, compared to Rs3.97 in 3QFY25.

Net sales during the quarter rose sharply to Rs33.1 billion, compared with Rs17.8 billion in the corresponding period last year, reflecting a recovery in passenger car demand amid improving economic conditions. Gross profit improved to Rs2.50 billion, supported by higher production volumes despite cost pressures.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025 (9MFY26), Honda Atlas reported a profit after tax of Rs2.23 billion, more than double the Rs1.03 billion recorded in the same period last year. Nine-month EPS stood at Rs15.59, compared to Rs7.19 in 9MFY25.

The Board of Directors did not declare any cash dividend, bonus issue, or right shares along with the results.

The improved performance highlights a gradual recovery in Pakistan’s auto sector, supported by easing inflation, lower interest rates, and improving consumer demand, although margins remain sensitive to input costs and exchange rate movements.
