Despite a 15% increase in revenue driven by strategic interventions, macroeconomic headwinds and import duties impacted cost structures, resulting in a decrease in profitability. The sponsor, SABV, has proposed to buy back shares held by minority shareholders at PKR 216.49 per share.

Signal: SELL 📉

Strength: 8/10

Sentiment: NEGATIVE

Time Horizon: SHORT_TERM

📌 Key Takeaways

📉 GLPL reported a loss after tax of PKR 25.95 million in 2025, a significant reversal from the profit of PKR 25.95 million in 2024.
Revenue increased by 15% from PKR 1,502.01 million to PKR 1,719.85 million.
⚠️ Gross profit decreased from PKR 482.35 million to PKR 340.37 million, reflecting higher cost of goods sold.
Expenses decreased from PKR (211.900) million to PKR (126.663) million.
💸 Operating loss of PKR (7.621) million compared to a profit of PKR 153.326 million in the previous year.
Import duties and macroeconomic headwinds negatively impacted profitability.
✨ Strategic interventions led to a significant revenue growth of 15%.

🎯 Investment Thesis

I recommend a SELL rating for GLPL. While the revenue growth demonstrates the company’s ability to capture market share, the significant decline in profitability and the impending delisting make the stock unattractive. The buyback offer at PKR 216.49 per share represents a fair exit price for minority shareholders, given the circumstances. The time horizon for this recommendation is short-term, as the delisting process is expected to occur within the coming months.
