Ghandhara Nissan Limited is having an exceptional year. The company, listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange under the ticker PSX: GAL, has posted impressive first-quarter results for fiscal year 2025 that show massive growth across all key financial metrics.
The headline number is hard to ignore: net profit reached Rs. 1.67 billion, representing a stunning 178% increase year-on-year compared to just Rs. 601 million during the same period last year. That’s nearly triple the profit in just one year, the kind of growth that makes investors sit up and take notice.
But it’s not just profit that’s climbing. Revenue surged even more dramatically, jumping 252% to reach Rs. 13.52 billion. This means the company isn’t just becoming more efficient with existing sales; it’s actually selling significantly more vehicles. Gross profit also rose substantially to Rs. 2.39 billion, showing healthy margins despite the competitive automobile market.
For shareholders, there’s more good news. Earnings per share (EPS) increased from Rs. 10.55 last year to Rs. 29.33 this year – almost three times higher. This directly benefits anyone holding GAL stock, as higher EPS typically translates to better dividends and increased share value.
What’s driving this remarkable performance? Company reports point to several factors: higher sales volumes as more Pakistanis are buying vehicles, lower finance costs that reduce the company’s expenses, and improved operational efficiency that squeezes more profit from each sale. Additionally, profit before tax stood at Rs. 2.5 billion, boosted by increased income from associate companies.
