Baluchistan Wheel Limited

Business Recorder reported that Baluchistan Wheels Limited (BWHL) grew its net sales by 26.51 percent to Rs2916.38 million in 2026. The company credited stronger demand from car assemblers, a lower discount rate, easing inflation and an improved macroeconomic backdrop. Gross profit climbed 46.49 percent as the sales mix shifted toward higher-margin products, lifting the gross margin to 28.49 percent.

Net profit, however, edged down 0.95 percent to Rs312.592 million, equal to earnings of Rs23.44 per share and a net margin of 10.72 percent. Operating profit rose 26.20 percent, though its margin slipped to 19.86 percent, while finance cost increased 11.44 percent due to higher lease liabilities at year end. Other income declined 25.90 percent because short-term investments fell.

The company's shareholding as of June 30, 2025 showed 13.334 million shares outstanding held by 1778 shareholders, with directors, their spouses and minor children holding about 46.25 percent. The report also flagged that higher fuel prices, reversal of monetary easing and supply chain disruptions linked to the Middle East crisis could weigh on auto sales, a development that could directly affect BWHL.
