Strong financial performance

AGTL’s financial performance has been a bright spot, even in a challenging environment.

In 2023, the company produced 14,317 tractors and sold 15,420 units, securing a 36% market share.

Despite a slight drop in production and sales compared to the previous year, AGTL managed to post a 19% increase in revenue for the first half of 2024.

The company’s profit after tax for this period surged by 116%, reaching Rs. 1.7 billion, with EPS climbing to Rs. 29.90.

One of the most promising aspects of AGTL’s future is its ongoing transformation project.

The company is investing to revamp its product portfolio and business operations.

A key part of this project is the introduction of a new Rs 10 billion, which is expected to strengthen AGTL’s position in the high-power tractor market.

This segment is particularly lucrative, accounting for about 40% of the total tractor market.

Moreover, AGTL is set to benefit from the Punjab Green Tractor Scheme, which is designed to provide subsidies to small and medium-sized farmers for purchasing tractors.

This government initiative is expected to drive significant sales growth for AGTL, particularly for its lower horsepower models.
