⏸️ PRL: HOLD Signal (6/10) – Presentation on Corporate Briefing Session

⚡ Flash Summary

Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL) reported a loss after tax of Rs. 4.66 billion for the year ended June 30, 2025, a significant downturn compared to a profit of Rs. 4.06 billion in the previous year. This decline is attributed primarily to depressed refining margins, which resulted in a decrease in gross profits by Rs. 13 billion. Revenue saw a slight increase to Rs. 310.35 billion from Rs. 305.54 billion. The company achieved record annual production for HSD and MS, despite facing financial headwinds. The company successfully completed the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for Refinery Expansion and Upgrade Project (REUP) and is currently evaluating EPC-F bids.
