Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited

Business Recorder reported that Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited (PSX: FATIMA) posted a 2025 net profit of Rs30,468.05 million, 12.91 percent lower than the previous year. Net sales slid 28.67 percent to Rs170,057.70 million, which the publication linked to weak farm economics after the wheat crisis and reduced cotton output. Earnings per share came in at Rs14.51, with a net margin of 17.92 percent.

Gross profit fell 18.45 percent, yet the gross margin rose to 41.96 percent, its highest level since 2019. Finance costs climbed 63.50 percent despite monetary easing, largely because of heavy interest payments on long-term debt maturing in the year. The Multan plant's operations were also transferred to its subsidiary PakArab Fertilizers Limited during 2025.

In the first quarter of CY26, topline fell 33.81 percent to Rs27,929.24 million and net profit dropped 48.09 percent to Rs4189.33 million, giving EPS of Rs1.99. The report attributes the decline to lower sales volumes, weak farm economics and irregular production because of gas supply constraints. Separately, the joint venture National Resources (Private) Limited has made a copper-gold discovery in Baluchistan, and the company plans to invest in mining and exploration, aviation and real estate to diversify its earnings.
