August 27, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan Aluminium Beverage Cans Limited (PSX: PABC) has released its financial results for the half year ended June 30, 2025, posting a profit of Rs3.89 billion, up 40.7% from Rs2.76bn in the same period last year.

Other expenses also increased by 21.7% to Rs392.42m.

Operating profit, however, dipped slightly by 3.1% to Rs3.27bn, but a 42.3% rise in other income to Rs1.06bn provided a strong offset.
