Atlas Honda Limited (PSX: ATLH) reported after-tax profit of Rs 11.5 billion for the half year ended September 30, 2026. The company said a reduction in the super tax rate helped support the increase in profit.
The half-year report, transmitted on Friday, 30 October 2026, also showed higher sales and earnings per share. It presents the company’s unaudited condensed interim financial information for the period.
Profit and earnings per share
Earnings per share — the profit attributable to each share — rose to Rs 92.90 from Rs 77.50 in the corresponding period last year. That was an increase of 19.9%.
The company reported higher after-tax profit alongside higher sales. Its explanation linked part of the profit improvement to the lower super tax rate, rather than attributing the entire increase to sales.
Ahead of last year
The same-period comparison shows Atlas Honda earning more for each share than it did a year earlier. The increase in earnings per share accompanies the company’s reported improvement in sales and after-tax profit.
The supplied material does not provide a comparable earnings figure for the period before that. It therefore supports a year-on-year improvement, but not a longer earnings trend.
Tax also helped the result
In plain terms, Atlas Honda reported more profit after paying tax, with higher earnings attributable to each share. That suggests an improved reported earnings outcome for the business over the comparable half year.
The tax explanation matters when reading that improvement. Because the company says a lower super tax rate supported profit, the result should not be read solely as a measure of stronger sales.
Dividend details are separate
Earnings per share is not the amount a shareholder automatically receives in cash. A cash payment depends on a separately announced dividend.
The supplied material refers to an earlier cash dividend announced on 30 Apr 2026, but does not state a current payout or book-closure schedule. The table below sets out the payouts on file.
| 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.
