The company is expected to report an earnings per share (EPS) of <strong>Rs 6.7<\/strong> for the quarter ended June 2025, representing a 30% increase compared to the same period <strong>last year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s driving this growth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sales &amp; seasonal demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer months bring peak demand for beverages, and with them, higher sales of cans. PABC is expected to post record revenue this quarter, helped by a <strong>15% rise in sales<\/strong> year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stable exports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exports to Afghanistan were smoother this time compared to last year, when border unrest had hurt trade. This stability has given an extra boost to the company\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Higher margins &amp; extra income<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Margins have improved slightly (+2 percentage points QoQ), thanks to better pricing conditions. On top of that, PABC is earning strong income from its large cash reserves, with <strong>other income up 64% YoY<\/strong>. The company currently sits on a solid cash position of Rs 10.7 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s next for investors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While this quarter appears to be a record one, analysts remain cautious. They believe PABC\u2019s long-term growth could slow down due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Normalization of taxes from 2027 onwards<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weaker export outlook<\/strong>, as new competitors in Central Asia add capacity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, investors will be watching closely for two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dividend resumption<\/strong> (as the company has the cash to do so)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Any new investment or expansion plans<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>PABC is set to deliver its <strong>highest-ever quarterly earnings<\/strong> in 2QCY25, backed by strong sales, seasonal demand, and healthy finances. But the real question is whether this momentum can continue in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: JS Global<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pak Aluminium Beverage Cans Ltd (PABC) is heading for its strongest quarter ever.
