October 29, 2025 (MLN): D.G. Khan Cement Company Limited (PSX: DGKC) has revealed its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, showcasing a remarkable turnaround in profitability.

The company’s Profit after Tax surged 157.7% year-on-year to Rs2.20bn, up from Rs854m in the corresponding period last year.

This strong earnings performance translated into a 167% jump in Earnings per Share (EPS), which rose to Rs4.97 compared to Rs1.86 a year earlier.

The cement manufacturer posted a 28% increase in Revenue, reaching Rs21.42bn against Rs16.71 billion in the same quarter of 2024. Despite a 24% rise in Cost of Sales to Rs16.89bn, Gross Profit climbed an impressive 44% to Rs4.53bn, showing improved pricing and cost management.
