Panther Tyres records highest quarterly profit in two years – Profit by Pakistan Today

Company records 79.45% QoQ and 2228.57% YoY increase in earnings despite sluggish economy 
LAHORE: Panther Tyres released their earnings  for Q3FY23 to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on April 12. The company came out swinging by recording a final earnings of Rs 236.6 million, a whopping 79.45% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) increase on its Rs 131.8 million in Q2FY23. The Rs 236.6 million is also an unprecedented 2228.57% year-on-year (YoY) increase on the Rs 10.16 million it  recorded in Q3FY22. Panther’s 9MFY23 earnings, however, stand at Rs 101.2 million. This is a 62.46% YoY decrease from its 9MFY22  profit of Rs 269.6 million. 
The disparity in Panther’s Q3FY23 and 9MFY23 earnings is attributable to the loss it incurred in Q1FY23.

What’s the reason for the rally
Saad Khan, Head of Research at IGI Finex Securities Limited, attributes the increase in overall net sales to higher retail prices. “As a result, the company’s gross margins improved significantly QoQ from 12.54% to 16.67%,” says Khan. He adds that “contained overheads have also played a role in boosting the operating margin from 5.86% to 10.42% QoQ.

Along with the profit, the product line has also increased a lot. But unfortunately, the company is not as social as other Tyre companies like General & Servis. By doing social activitiz with end customer and dealer the panther company can increase its profit.
These companies are extracting millions out of people pockets to ehance their earnings.But the govt is sleeping to control these mafias
