⚡ Flash Summary

Gatron (Industries) Limited reported a significant decrease in revenue for FY2025, dropping by 22.6% to PKR 26.328 billion. This decline is primarily attributed to a drop in yarn sales volume and lower prices, influenced by reduced raw material costs and continued dumping from Chinese suppliers.
