Dawood Lawrencepur reports nine-month 2026 results and declares PKR 1 per-share interim dividend
Financial ResultThe board approved unaudited results for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and declared an interim cash dividend of PKR 1 per share for the quarter. Unconsolidated nine-month profit after tax fell to PKR 3.487 billion from PKR 16.701 billion, while EPS declined to PKR 4.35 from PKR 28.16. The prior-year comparison included a one-time gain from remeasurement of the Engro Holdings investment; the company says the decline does not reflect a deterioration in underlying operating performance.
