DG Khan Cement Company Limited (DGKC) delivered its strongest-ever annual earnings in fiscal year 2026, with profit after tax reaching Rs. 11.4 billion.

The company’s earnings per share climbed 32% year-on-year to Rs. 26.08, compared with Rs. 19.80 in FY25.

The jump in profitability was driven by a combination of higher local cement sales, stronger pricing and a steep decline in financing expenses.

DGKC’s local dispatches grew 4% during FY26, while retention prices increased 8% year-on-year, helping lift the company’s earnings.

Finance costs provided another major boost, falling 67% from the previous year and significantly reducing the pressure on the bottom line.

The combination of improved domestic volumes, better retention prices and lower borrowing costs helped DGKC achieve its highest annual profit on record.
