Atlas Honda Limited (PSX: ATLH) announced an after-tax profit of Rs 11.5 billion for the half-year ending September 30, 2026, attributing part of the rise to a cut in the super tax rate.
The interim report, filed on Friday, October 30, 2026, also displayed higher sales and an increase in earnings per share, presenting unaudited condensed financial data for the period.
Profit and earnings per share
Earnings per share climbed to Rs 92.90 from Rs 77.50 in the same period last year, a rise of 19.9%.
While after-tax profit and sales both grew, the company linked part of the profit boost to the lower super tax rather than solely to stronger sales.
Ahead of last year
The comparison shows Atlas Honda earning more per share than a year earlier, reflecting the reported gains in sales and profit.
The material does not give a comparable earnings figure for the prior period, so it confirms a year-on-year improvement but not a longer trend.
Tax also helped the result
In simple terms, Atlas Honda earned more after tax, with higher earnings per share, indicating an improved earnings outcome for the comparable half-year.
The tax explanation matters because the firm says the reduced super tax rate supported profit, meaning the result should not be read only as a sign of stronger sales.
Dividend details are separate
Earnings per share does not equal the cash amount a shareholder receives; a dividend must be declared separately.
The material references a cash dividend announced on April 30, 2026, but gives no current payout or book-closure dates. The table below lists the recorded payouts.
| Announced | Entitlement | Book closure |
|---|---|---|
| 30 Apr 2026 | A cash dividend of 560% of face value | 16/06/2026-29/06/2026 |
| 30 Apr 2026 | A cash dividend of 560% of face value | 16/06/2026-29/06/2026 |
| 30 Oct 2025 | A cash dividend of 460% of face value | 13/11/2025-14/11/2025 |
As PSX lists them, each in its own unit.
