Pakistan State Oil (PSO), the nation’s largest oil marketing company, has posted a remarkable 502% surge in profit-after-tax (PAT), reaching Rs11.2 billion for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025–26 (1QFY26). This sharp rise in profitability comes despite a 7% decline in revenue to Rs771.9 billion, underscoring PSO’s effective cost management and operational efficiency.
According to the company’s financial results, earnings per share (EPS) climbed to Rs22.43, compared to Rs6.07 during the same period last year. The profit growth was driven by cost-cutting measures, lower operating expenses, and reduced finance costs, which collectively strengthened the company’s financial performance.
PSO’s profit from operations jumped by more than 145%, reaching Rs23.04 billion, while profit before tax increased by 285% to Rs20.43 billion. These results reflect the company’s ability to sustain profitability amid fluctuating oil prices and evolving market dynamics.
As Pakistan’s leading energy supplier, PSO maintains a dominant presence in the fuel market, providing a wide range of products including petrol, diesel, furnace oil, CNG, LPG, and petrochemicals across the country. The company’s robust quarterly performance highlights its strategic focus on efficiency, market leadership, and financial resilience in a challenging economic environment.
