Karachi: Baluchistan Wheels Limited, a prominent player in the automotive manufacturing sector, has declared an interim cash dividend of Rs.10 per share, reflecting a 100% payout for the second quarter ending December 31, 2025. This announcement was made following a Board of Directors meeting held on February 10, 2026, at the Karachi Gymkhana.

The company reported a notable increase in its financial performance during the period. For the half-year ending December 31, 2025, Baluchistan Wheels Limited recorded a net turnover of Rs.1.40 billion, compared to Rs.1.14 billion in the same period the previous year. The gross profit rose to Rs.390.76 million from Rs.246.04 million, while the profit for the period surged to Rs.205.37 million from Rs.114.93 million a year earlier. This performance was achieved despite an increase in administrative and distribution expenses.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Baluchistan Wheels Limited's earnings per share for the half-year improved significantly to Rs.15.40 from Rs.8.62 in the corresponding period last year. The company's revenue reserves also saw a rise, reaching Rs.1.71 billion from Rs.1.60 billion as of June 30, 2025.

The company’s assets grew to Rs.2.71 billion as of December 31, 2025, from Rs.2.66 billion at the end of June 2025. The increase in assets was driven by growth in property, plant, and equipment, as well as trade debts and bank balances. The current liabilities, however, decreased to Rs.257.17 million from Rs.321.92 million, contributing to a stronger financial position.

Baluchistan Wheels Limited's share transfer books will remain closed from February 18 to February 19, 2026, to determine the entitlement of the interim dividend. Transfers received at the company's share registrar by the close of business on February 17, 2026, will be considered timely for the dividend entitlement.

The company reported no issuance of bonus shares or right shares during this period. Additionally, there were no other entitlements or corporate actions announced. The half-yearly report for the period ended December 31, 2025, will be transmitted separately through the Pakistan Unified Corporate Action Reporting System (PUCARS).

The financial results reflect Baluchistan Wheels Limited's robust operational performance and financial management, positioning it well for continued growth in the coming quarters.
