Colgate-Palmolive Pakistan earned profit after tax of Rs 4.93 billion for July to September 2026, according to its quarterly report transmitted on Friday, 30 October 2026. The company reported higher profit than in the corresponding period a year earlier.
Colgate-Palmolive (Pakistan) Limited (PSX: COLG) said price adjustments and higher sales volumes drove turnover growth. Rising material costs, however, put pressure on margins.
Profit before and after tax
Profit before tax stood at Rs 7.79 billion for the quarter to September 2026. After tax, the company reported profit of Rs 4.93 billion.
Earnings per share, the profit attributable to each share, came to Rs 20.30. The company presented unaudited, condensed financial statements for the period, and the table below sets out the reported figures.

Earnings improved from a year earlier
Both profit after tax and earnings per share were higher than in the corresponding quarter a year earlier, according to the report. That points to an improvement in quarterly earnings, rather than just an increase in sales.
The supplied material does not establish an earnings trend across earlier quarters. Its earlier payout reference is a cash dividend announced on 2 Feb 2026, which is separate from the quarterly profit comparison.
Pricing and volume supported sales
In plain terms, management's account suggests that turnover growth came from both price adjustments and selling more products. The increase was therefore not attributed to pricing alone.
Higher material costs put pressure on margins, the portion of sales left after the relevant costs. That suggests sales growth and cost pressure were operating together, even as reported earnings improved from a year earlier.
Dividend details remain separate
Earnings per share are not the same as a cash dividend paid to shareholders. The supplied quarterly material does not state a current payout or book-closure dates, so it does not establish what shareholders will receive from these results.
The earlier dividend announcement on file is dated 2 Feb 2026. Without current payout terms, a comparison with that announcement cannot be made.
| Announced | Entitlement | Book closure |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Aug 2026 | A payout | 17/09/2026 – 24/09/2026 |
| 2 Feb 2026 | A cash dividend of 290% of face value | 03/03/2026 – 10/03/2026 |
| 27 Jan 2025 | A cash dividend of 320% of face value | 07/02/2025 – 09/02/2025 |
As PSX lists them, each in its own unit.
Price trend needs trading history
The supplied material does not establish how the share moved over the period covered by the chart below. A latest closing quotation alone cannot show the direction of trading across that period.
