The company is expected to post earnings per share (EPS) of <strong>PKR 15.18<\/strong>, which is a <strong>32% jump compared to last quarter<\/strong> and a <strong>45% rise from 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\">New product launches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Haleon recently introduced new packs of <strong>CAC-1000, Panadol Night, and Centrum<\/strong>. These fresh launches have helped the company attract more customers and push sales higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lower raw material prices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicines rely heavily on key ingredients called <strong>APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients)<\/strong>. Prices of common ingredients like <strong>paracetamol, ascorbic acid, and calcium<\/strong> have gone down recently, giving Haleon some breathing room. Lower costs mean higher profit margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improving margins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With higher sales and lower costs, Haleon\u2019s <strong>gross margin<\/strong> is expected to improve to <strong>37%<\/strong> (up from 34% last quarter). Its <strong>net margin<\/strong> should also climb to <strong>15%<\/strong>, showing that the company is keeping more profit from every rupee earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No dividend expected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, Haleon isn\u2019t expected to pay a dividend. Instead, the company seems focused on reinvesting into its operations and products to fuel further growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Big picture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Haleon\u2019s story this quarter is all about smart product launches and cost savings. With consumer demand picking up and raw material prices cooling off, the company is in a stronger position to grow earnings and strengthen its place in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haleon is growing because it launched new versions of its popular medicines and got lucky with falling costs. Investors may not get a dividend this time, but the company\u2019s improving profits show it\u2019s moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: Optimus Capital Management<\/strong><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haleon Pakistan Limited (HALEON), the well-known consumer healthcare company, is on track for a strong performance in 2QCY25.
