Sazgar Engineering Works Limited has announced robust financial results for the half year ended December 31, 2025 (1HFY26), reporting a net profit of Rs8.41 billion, reflecting strong growth driven by higher vehicle sales and improved operating performance.

According to the company’s filing with the Pakistan Stock Exchange, earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs139.64 for the half year, compared to Rs109.50 in the corresponding period last year. Net sales for 1HFY26 increased sharply to Rs67.85 billion, up from Rs44.69 billion, supported by strong demand for automobiles and three-wheelers.

For the second quarter alone, Sazgar reported a profit after tax of Rs4.02 billion, with quarterly EPS of Rs65.56, compared to Rs39.83 in 2QFY25. Operating profit for the half year rose to Rs12.81 billion, reflecting higher volumes and better cost absorption despite rising distribution and administrative expenses.

Finance costs increased during the period due to higher borrowing requirements, while other income declined compared to last year. Nevertheless, strong topline growth and operating leverage supported overall profitability.

The Board of Directors has approved an interim cash dividend of Rs15 per share (150%) for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, in addition to an interim dividend of Rs15 per share already paid earlier, taking the total interim payout to Rs30 per share for FY26 so far. The entitlement will be paid to shareholders whose names appear on the register as of February 9, 2026, with the share transfer books closed from February 10 to February 12, 2026.

The Board also fixed the number of directors at nine, to be elected at the forthcoming Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for March 17, 2026.

The results underline Sazgar Engineering’s strong earnings momentum amid improving demand conditions in Pakistan’s auto sector, supported by new model launches and recovery in consumer sentiment.
