The increase in profitability is expected mainly on the back of inventory gains during 1HFY20 when compared to the inventory loss in the same period last year.

During the period under review, PSO's sales revenue is anticipated to jump owing to growth in sales volumes of MS, HSD and FO which might provide support to its bottom line. Gross profits of the company are predicted to increase in 1HFY20 due to inventory gains.

However, the finance cost is expected to increase on an account of an increase in borrowings with higher interest rates.
