Nishat Power 1QFY27 profit falls 7% to around Rs541m

Nishat Power Ltd (NPL) recorded net earnings of Rs541.38 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, down 7.35% from a year earlier. Earnings per share also eased to Rs1.53 from Rs1.65. Quarterly sales climbed to Rs8.25 billion from Rs1.67 billion, while the cost of sales expanded even faster, reaching Rs7.73 billion.

Gross profit rose 32.02% to Rs515.64 million, but operating profit contracted 33.29% to Rs465.08 million. Lower other income, which fell to Rs113.42 million from Rs435.90 million, and finance charges of Rs58.77 million, compared with Rs7.02 million, weighed on the result. A Rs210.49 million contribution from an associate and a smaller tax bill helped limit the decline; profit before tax was Rs598.50 million, versus Rs689.71 million in the comparable quarter.
